Website Tracking & Analytics Audit
Free SEO + tracking audit — see exactly what's broken in under 60 seconds
Your website's tracking setup is mostly healthy, with Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) properly installed and functioning on your homepage. The GA4 tag successfully fired, indicating that basic pageview tracking is operational. However, there is a warning regarding the absence of Google Consent Mode, which could affect data collection under certain privacy regulations. Additionally, the "view_item_list" event, which should track product list views on the homepage, did not fire, indicating a potential gap in tracking user interactions with product listings. Since your store is not on Shopify, there are no concerns about Shopify-specific analytics or duplicate pixel issues. Moving forward, I recommend auditing other key pages like product pages, the cart, checkout, and order-confirmation pages to ensure comprehensive tracking coverage. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, consider connecting your store to PayHelm AI for advanced analytics insights and support.
GTM container installed and loading.
GA4 is installed and sending data.
4 of 4 key funnel stages look healthy.
No data-quality issues found in tracked events.
Consent Mode not detected.
Tags load quickly.
No conflicting analytics IDs.
No Google Consent Mode was detected. Since March 2024 Google requires Consent Mode v2 for sites with EEA/UK traffic running Google Ads — without it, conversion and remarketing data is lost for users who haven't consented.
Tags loaded quickly (GTM in 0.94s) — no performance concern.
No cross-domain (linker) tracking was detected. If your checkout or other steps live on a different domain, set up linker tracking so visits aren't split into separate sessions.
Google Ads Enhanced Conversions were not detected. They send hashed first-party data (email/phone) to recover conversions lost to cookie restrictions — worth enabling if you run Google Ads.
GA4 User-ID tracking was not detected. If you have logged-in users, setting a User-ID lets GA4 join their activity across devices and sessions.
We couldn't reach the checkout or order-confirmation page during this audit, so purchase tracking is unverified. Purchase is the single most important event to get right — test it with a real or test order and confirm the 'purchase' event fires once on the thank-you page.

Every dataLayer push observed during page load — with full payload and configuration analysis.
›GTM lifecycle events (3)— gtm.js, gtm.dom, gtm.load, etc.

GTM-5FVGW7GJ
A Google Tag Manager container is installed on this page.
1/1 container(s) returned a successful gtm.js response.
The container's JavaScript downloaded successfully, so GTM can run.
Found <noscript> ns.html iframe.
The fallback for visitors with JavaScript disabled is in place.
GTM snippet appears inside <head>.
The container is loaded early, as Google recommends, so tags fire as soon as possible.
dataLayer is defined before the container snippet.
Data is available to tags from the very first event.
G-S8W43JH9D7 — collect hit observed.
Google Analytics 4 is actively sending pageview/event data.
No consent API calls observed
No Google Consent Mode was detected. Since March 2024 Google requires Consent Mode v2 for sites with EEA/UK traffic running Google Ads — without it, conversion and remarketing data is lost for users who haven't consented.

purchase observed=false, checkout page audited=false
We couldn't reach the checkout or order-confirmation page during this audit, so purchase tracking is unverified. Purchase is the single most important event to get right — test it with a real or test order and confirm the 'purchase' event fires once on the thank-you page.
Fix this issueFunnel events are page-specific: purchase only fires on order confirmation, add_to_cart requires a user click. Events shown as are not observable on this page type — audit each page separately for full coverage.
Discovery
Not observed on this page. Set up 'view_item_list' on your collection/category/search pages for funnel visibility.
Fix this gapNot observed during this load — 'select_item' requires user interaction on collection/category pages. Verify by manually testing the action on that page.
Consideration
Not observable on home pages — 'view_item' only fires on product detail pages. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Cart Activity
Not observable on home pages — 'add_to_cart' only fires on product pages and cart. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Not observable on home pages — 'remove_from_cart' only fires on cart page. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Not observable on home pages — 'view_cart' only fires on cart page. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Checkout Funnel
Not observable on home pages — 'begin_checkout' only fires on checkout entry page. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Not observable on home pages — 'add_shipping_info' only fires on checkout shipping step. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Not observable on home pages — 'add_payment_info' only fires on checkout payment step. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Not observable on home pages — 'purchase' only fires on order confirmation / thank-you page. Audit that page type to verify coverage.
Post-Purchase
This event fires server-side (server-side or order management system) and cannot be observed by a browser-based audit.
These tracking scripts are hardcoded directly in your page HTML. Moving them into GTM makes them easier to update, pause, version, and conditionally fire — without touching your code.
GA4 gtag.js snippet installed directly in the page HTML (outside GTM).
Fix: Remove the hardcoded GA4 snippet and manage it via a GTM 'Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration' tag.
Risk: Running GA4 both directly and via GTM sends duplicate pageviews and inflates every metric in your reports.
