title: Using Google Analytics with Next.js (through `@next/third-parties/google`)
---
> Prefer `@next/third-parties/google` when using the inline script for Google Analytics and Tag Manager.
## Why This Error Occurred
An inline script was used for Google Analytics which might impact your webpage's performance. Instead, we recommend using `next/script` through the `@next/third-parties` library.
## Possible Ways to Fix It
### Use `@next/third-parties` to add Google Analytics
**`@next/third-parties`** is a library that provides a collection of components and utilities that improve the performance and developer experience of loading popular third-party libraries in your Next.js application. It is available with Next.js 14 (install `next@latest`).
The `GoogleAnalytics` component can be used to include [Google Analytics
4](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4) to your page via the Google tag (`gtag.js`). By default, it fetches the original scripts after hydration occurs on the page.
> **Recommendation**: If Google Tag Manager is already included in your application, you can
> configure Google Analytics directly using it, rather than including Google Analytics as a separate component. Refer to the [documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/tag-options#what-is-gtm)
> to learn more about the differences between Tag Manager and `gtag.js`.
To load Google Analytics for all routes, include the component directly in your root layout and pass in your measurement ID:
```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>{children}</body>
<GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
</html>
)
}
```
```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>{children}</body>
<GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
</html>
)
}
```
To load Google Analytics for a single route, include the component in your page file:
```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'
export default function Page() {
return <GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
}
```
### Use `@next/third-parties` to add Google Tag Manager
The `GoogleTagManager` component can be used to add [Google Tag Manager](https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/quickstart) to your page.
```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
<body>{children}</body>
</html>
)
}
```
To load Google Tag Manager for a single route, include the component in your page file:
```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
export default function Page() {
return <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
}
```
## Good to know
- If you are using the Pages Router, please refer to the [`pages/` documentation](/docs/pages/guides/third-party-libraries).
- `@next/third-parties` also supports [other third parties](/docs/app/guides/third-party-libraries#google-tag-manager).
- Using `@next/third-parties` is not required. You can also use the `next/script` component directly. Refer to the [`next/script` documentation](/docs/app/guides/scripts) to learn more.
