Add analytics to Astro
Needs is:inline, or Astro bundles the script and drops the data-site attribute.
In the layout's head, so every page using that layout is covered. Astro ships zero JavaScript by default, which makes the one script you do add worth placing deliberately.
`is:inline` is the part that matters and the part that is easy to miss. Without it Astro treats the tag as a module to process and bundle, which drops the data-site attribute — the tracker then loads with no site to report to, and the symptom is indistinguishable from having no traffic yet.
