FAQs

Why do I need to place Factor’s SDK in the <head> section on my website?

Placing the SDK in the <head> is essential for the following:

  • To ensure that you don’t miss out on website visitors and users, and associated UTM parameters leading to incomplete tracking.

  • To ensure you don’t miss out on any form fills not getting captured. Up to 10% of total form fills might get lost by not placing the SDK correctly.

  • To ensure SDK doesn’t take long to load. The SDK can take up to 8 seconds due to other async marketing tags if it is not placed in the <head> section.

We are aware that it is generally advised to not place marketing tags in the <head> section due to concerns about page performance. But unlike other marketing tags, Factors SDK is extremely lightweight (22 KBs), asynchronous and doesn’t affect your website performance at all.

Which pages should I place the Factors SDK on?

On any webpage (owned by your organisation) where your prospects interact with your brand and content or fills out a form:

  • Website

  • Blogs, webinars, case studies or any other resource pages including the ones hosted on 3rd party CMS like WordPress, Hubspot Blogs, etc.

  • Sign up or login pages including the one hosted on the product app.

Places where you shouldn’t place the SDK include:

  • Pages where lead gen, content forms, and any type of inbound forms are hosted.

  • Landing pages including the ones hosted on 3rd party CMS like WordPress, Hubspot Blogs, etc or landing page builders like Instapage, Wix, Leadpages, etc.

How long does it take for the Factors Website SDK data to show data after placing the SDK successfully?

After placing the SDK successfully in the <head> section of your website, we will start pulling in data immediately and your reports and dashboards will start getting populated with data within 2-10 mins.
