  • Useful for A/B testing different pages

3. HTML Block (T123)

  • Visual block added to page content
  • Can contain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Use for: Inline event tracking, form tracking
  • More visible and easier to manage per-page

4. Zero Block

  • Advanced visual editor
  • Can add HTML/JS to elements
  • Use for: Custom animations, interactive tracking
  • Requires understanding of Zero Block structure

Tilda Form Integration

Tilda has built-in forms with special considerations:

Form Submission Events:

// Listen for Tilda form submissions
$(document).on('tildaform:aftersuccess', function(e, data) {
  // Track form submission
  gtag('event', 'form_submit', {
    form_name: data.formId,
    form_type: data.tranid
  });

  fbq('track', 'Lead', {
    content_name: data.formId
  });
});

Form Types in Tilda:

  • Standard forms (Contact, Lead Gen)
  • Payment forms (with Tinkoff, PayPal, etc.)
  • Popup forms
  • Step forms (multi-step)
  • Subscribe forms

Zero Block Tracking

Track interactions within Zero Blocks:

<!-- Add to Zero Block HTML element -->
<script>
document.querySelector('#rec123456 .custom-button').addEventListener('click', function() {
  gtag('event', 'button_click', {
    button_name: 'CTA Button',
    block_id: 'rec123456'
  });
});
</script>

Tilda's Built-in Analytics

Tilda provides basic analytics, but has limitations:

Built-in Stats (Settings → Statistics):

  • Page views
  • Unique visitors
  • Traffic sources
  • Geography

Limitations:

  • Basic metrics only
  • No event tracking
  • No conversion tracking
  • No user behavior analysis
  • Limited historical data

Recommendation: Use Google Analytics 4 or GTM for event tracking, conversion tracking, user behavior analysis, and longer data retention.

Integration Best Practices

1. Use Site Settings for Global Code

Add base tracking code in Settings → Analytics:

  • GTM container (if using GTM)
  • GA4 base code
  • Meta Pixel base code
  • Any code needed on every page

2. Use Tilda's Built-In jQuery

Tilda loads jQuery by default, so you can use it for event listeners without adding dependencies:

// Tilda uses jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
  // Track button clicks
  $('.t-btn').click(function() {
    var buttonText = $(this).text();
    gtag('event', 'button_click', {
      button_text: buttonText
    });
  });
});

3. Track Tilda-Specific Events

Page Load:

// Track when Tilda page fully loads
$(document).ready(function() {
  gtag('event', 'page_view', {
    page_title: document.title,
    page_location: window.location.href
  });
});

Form Success:

// Track form submissions
$(document).on('tildaform:aftersuccess', function(e, data) {
  gtag('event', 'generate_lead', {
    currency: 'USD',
    value: 0,
    form_id: data.formId
  });
});

Popup Opens:

// Track popup opens
$(document).on('tildapopup:opened', function(e, data) {
  gtag('event', 'popup_open', {
    popup_id: data.popupid
  });
});

Video Plays:

// Track video plays
$('.t-video').on('play', function() {
  gtag('event', 'video_play', {
    video_title: $(this).attr('data-video-title')
  });
});

4. Handle Multi-Page vs One-Page Sites

Multi-Page Sites:

  • Code in Site Settings loads on every page
  • Each page view tracked separately
  • Standard implementation

One-Page Sites:

  • Single page load
  • Track scroll depth for sections
  • Use anchor links to track "page" views
// Track section views on one-page sites
$(document).on('scroll', function() {
  $('.t-rec').each(function() {
    if (isElementInViewport(this) && !$(this).hasClass('tracked')) {
      $(this).addClass('tracked');
      gtag('event', 'section_view', {
        section_id: $(this).attr('id')
      });
    }
  });
});

5. Test Before Publishing

Tilda requires republishing after code changes:

  1. Add code in Settings or page
  2. Save changes
  3. Republish site (this is critical!)
  4. Test on published URL (not preview)
  5. Verify events in analytics platforms

Important: Preview mode may not load custom scripts correctly. Always test on the published site.

Privacy & GDPR Compliance

Tilda supports cookie banners. Integrate with tracking:

// Wait for consent before tracking
if (localStorage.getItem('cookieConsent') === 'accepted') {
  // Initialize tracking
  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
  fbq('init', 'PIXEL_ID');
} else {
  // Show consent banner
  // Initialize only after acceptance
}

Tilda Privacy Settings

  • Settings → GDPR - Enable EU cookie notice
  • Customize cookie banner text
  • Auto-blocks tracking until consent (if configured)

Common Tilda Elements to Track

Buttons

// Track all Tilda buttons
$('.t-btn').click(function() {
  gtag('event', 'button_click', {
    button_text: $(this).text(),
    button_url: $(this).attr('href')
  });
});
// Track external links
$('a[href^="http"]').not('[href*="' + location.hostname + '"]').click(function() {
  gtag('event', 'outbound_click', {
    link_url: $(this).attr('href')
  });
});
// Track gallery image clicks
$('.t-gallery__img').click(function() {
  gtag('event', 'image_click', {
    image_url: $(this).attr('src')
  });
});

Downloads

// Track file downloads
$('a[href$=".pdf"], a[href$=".doc"], a[href$=".zip"]').click(function() {
  gtag('event', 'file_download', {
    file_name: $(this).attr('href').split('/').pop()
  });
});

Performance Considerations

Script Loading

Tilda loads scripts in specific order:

  1. Tilda core scripts
  2. Site Settings analytics code
  3. Page-specific code
  4. HTML block scripts

Best Practice: Use defer or load scripts after page ready:

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Your tracking code here
  // Ensures Tilda elements are loaded first
});

Minimize Script Size

  • Use GTM to manage multiple tags (single container load)
  • Minify custom JavaScript
  • Load third-party scripts asynchronously
  • Avoid heavy libraries if not needed (Tilda already includes jQuery)

Tilda vs Other Platforms

Key Differences

No Server-Side Access:

  • All tracking must be client-side
  • Cannot implement server-side tracking directly
  • Use Conversions API apps if needed

All Custom Code:

  • No native integrations like Shopify
  • More flexible but requires code knowledge
  • Greater control over implementation

Page-Based Structure:

  • Each page can have unique tracking
  • Great for landing pages with different campaigns
  • Easy to A/B test tracking setups
