Yours has your own site ID in place of YOUR_SITE_ID.

How do you add GetFoxChat to Plain HTML site, step by step?

1. In GetFoxChat, open the install step for your site and copy your snippet. It already has your site ID in it. No account yet? Create one free.
2. Open the HTML file for your pages. If your site has one shared footer or layout file, open that one; otherwise open each page.
3. Find the closing </body> tag near the bottom.
4. Paste the snippet on a new line just above </body>. Keep the defer attribute; it lets the page finish loading before the chat script runs. source
5. Save the file and upload it to your web host the way you normally update your site.
6. Back in GetFoxChat, press Check my site. The chat switches on once GetFoxChat finds the snippet on your live pages.

Plain HTML site's own guide: MDN: the script element. Checked 2026-09-30; if Plain HTML site renames a menu, its guide has the current wording.

Plain HTML site gotchas

• The snippet loads widget.js from getfoxchat.com through its src attribute, so leave the src value exactly as copied. source
• The line must sit inside the page's head or body, not after the closing </html> tag. A script element is allowed in either place; just above </body> is where GetFoxChat recommends it. source

How do you remove it later?

Delete the GetFoxChat script line from each page (or the shared footer file) and upload the files again.
