And this requires installing/ implementing Foxmetrics. ![](https://1645770016-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MYei1KeCNQe_6BP24no%2F-Md-5aHnImotkNJ_A4N9%2F-Md-6nuYa4FfJ0UOu2g6%2FTracking%20code%20.png?alt=media\&token=45330374-2a86-481d-9f1a-fa1cf77f0018) To install Foxmetrics on your website using the tracking code, copy and paste the tracking code into the``tag of your site. The [Installation Guide](/getting-started/configure-foxmetrics.md) provides step-by-step instructions on how to **integrate FoxMetrics** on various platforms using Google Tag Manager. Once you’ve [configured Foxmetrics](/getting-started/configure-foxmetrics.md) on your site, wait for 1 hour before trying to access the application. {% hint style="info" %} If there’s enough traffic coming to your site, it should start tracking after an hour. However, if your site is new and you don’t have a ton of traffic, try clicking around the website to generate enough events to move you past the [application restriction](/getting-started/setting-up-an-account/accessibility-limitation.md). {% endhint %} ![Data tracking warning.](https://1645770016-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MYei1KeCNQe_6BP24no%2F-Md-5aHnImotkNJ_A4N9%2F-Md-71sglgCnnFTfuapo%2Ftracking%20code%20warning.png?alt=media\&token=b35c337d-ed76-4be2-9449-f24c8e893a79) {% hint style="success" %} Once FoxMetrics is implemented, the tracking code warning (above) would change from **yellow** to **green**. {% endhint %} ![](https://1645770016-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MYei1KeCNQe_6BP24no%2F-Md-5aHnImotkNJ_A4N9%2F-Md-71siRVvfgxf9oz-R%2FTraacking%20code%20warning.png?alt=media\&token=b12668f6-f709-467e-bc1c-73b435badc95)
