Add the Pulse script via a plugin or by editing your theme's header file directly.

---

## Method 1: Using a plugin (Recommended)

The easiest way is to use the [WPCode (Insert Headers and Footers)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/) plugin. Install it, then go to **Code Snippets -> Header & Footer** and paste the Pulse script into the Header section.

```html filename="Header Script"
<script
  defer
  data-domain="your-site.com"
  src="https://pulse.ciphera.net/script.js"
></script>
```

## Method 2: Edit header.php directly

Go to **Appearance -> Theme File Editor** and edit `header.php`. Add the Pulse script before the closing `</head>` tag.
