Let @vuepress/plugin-google-analytics write in <head> to support Google SearchConsole? #2766

Open luigiwerzowa opened 3 years ago

The Google Analytics plugin works fine for Google Analytics, however, Google SearchConsole validation via Google Analytics requires the analytics.js to be in <head> rather than the <body (see official documentation). Since the latter is currently the case for the google-analytics plugin, SearchConsole validation fails.

Is there any way to get the plugin to put the analytics.js in <head>? It seems I do not understand how exactly the plugin is added to the position it is added to. In app.js I see that it is added via o.parentNode.insertBefore(s, o) but where the parameters come from is unclear to me.

Thanks in advance.

In case this may be an issue for anyone else: You can also verify with a google-site-verification meta tag. In "a curated list of awesome things related to VuePress", at least one project uses this method: archcheatsheet.
