SignalHost Server-Side Tagging for Joomla

Server-side Google Tag Manager hosting for your Joomla site. Your site sends its analytics and conversion data to your own tagging server first, and from there to Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta and TikTok — in a form ad blockers do not recognise. Connect once; there is no code to paste.

Install and connect

1. In your Joomla administrator, open System › Install › Extensions and upload the package.
2. Open Components › SignalHost and press Connect with SignalHost.
3. Sign in to SignalHost (or create a free account) and pick a container for the site — or create one in a few minutes. It is built in your own Google account.
4. You come back to Joomla, and the tracking code is on every page of your site. The screen shows whether your home page carries it.

What the extension does

The system plugin prints one small loader script in the <head> of your site's pages, through Joomla's Web Asset Manager, and never in the administrator. Once an hour it checks in with signalhost.io to stay current — for example, to switch to your own tracking domain when it goes live — and sends only the extension's, Joomla's and PHP's versions, your site's address and whether the code was found on your home page. No visitor data, no content, no user accounts. If signalhost.io cannot be reached, your site keeps working with the last good configuration.

Disconnect any time under Components › SignalHost; uninstalling removes everything the extension stored.
