Also, is the DNS record for your staging site proxied by Cloudflare or DNS Only? (Signified by :greycloud: or :cloudflare: in the DNS entry)

Do you have any configuration rules that may be preventing zaraz from loading?

If you go on the staging site and start to type
zaraz in the console, does it find it? You'll want to confirm that zaraz is being loaded.8 replies

Probably. Can't say for sure, but if I had to use Canva and Clarity, that's what I think I'd do too. But does the increased complexity still make sense vs. using another way to build the site?

Can you expand on that? Based on screenshots it seems that you're proxying it right now

If you turn it off there's no security protection coming from your cloudflare account, but Canva's security protections will still work. Can't say wheather leaving it on will help or hurt the site overall. Often places that want you to grey cloud do not work if it isn't done, but if it is working, it might be fine, but who knows.

Oh interesting. Idk the answer to that. It seems like canva wants you to grey cloud for sites with them but if it is working, idk.

This is becasue your Worker is proxied by Cloudflare which lets Cloudflare add Zaraz to it. Canva sites requires you to "grey cloud" or DNS only your DNS record to them. This mean that Cloudflare, for that DNS record, acts like a "dumb" DNS provider and isn't providing all of the perf and security features that it can do on sites it proxies. As such, Zaraz isn't automatically loaded and must be manually load by adding a script tag (but it seems that Canva doesn't allow for this).

Re: A way to do it.
Since Canva requires the sites to be grey clouded you're more limited in what you can do. Ultimately unless there's some sort of trick for doing it in Canva, you're probably going to have to leave Canva for another tool.

Yeah, if you're loading Zaraz on a zone, if you have a Worker on that Zone it should be loading Zaraz and the tools you have setup in Zaraz.
Unfortunantly it seems like you're going to be pretty limited with using Canva pages in what you can do. I know that isn't great news

Got it. That's very limiting
Here's another article on adding GTM/GA4 that would be the same process for Zaraz (but these articles could just be wrong)

Would that work with the limitations you've ran into? It wouldn't require you using a worker.

Okay, I'm not super familiar with Canva's sites, so if I'm missing something lmk. This guide offers suggestions for how to instal GA4 via GTM. They're suggesting that you embed the tag script into the site and make the embed 1x1 pixel so that it is super tiny. https://www.blobr.io/how-to-guides/how-can-you-add-google-analytics-to-your-canva-website
You can then include Zaraz like this (assuming your canva site is "grey clouded" :greycloud: DNS: https://developers.cloudflare.com/zaraz/advanced/domains-not-proxied/
Basically the same style setup as the article suggests you do with GTM, but using Zaraz.
