Website Tracking & Analytics Audit

Free SEO + tracking audit — see exactly what's broken in under 60 seconds

Full GTM config is private — this reports the observed runtime container (what actually loads & fires). We'll email your report to the address above.

Last scanned Jun 25, 2026 — scored warn. Same result as last time.
Works, with issueshttps://www.almanac.com/

Your website's tracking setup is mostly healthy, with Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) both properly integrated and firing as expected on your homepage. Several key tags, including Microsoft Ads and Google Ads, also fired successfully. However, there is a warning regarding the dataLayer not being clearly initialized before the GTM container, which could affect data accuracy. Additionally, the absence of Shopify-specific tracking elements like Trekkie or the Web Pixels API indicates that Shopify-native analytics are not applicable here. Since this audit focused on the homepage, the next logical step would be to review tracking on product pages, the cart, and the checkout process to ensure comprehensive coverage. Given the current warning, I recommend connecting your store to PayHelm AI for a deeper analysis and potential improvements.

Cross-domain TrackingInfo

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.

Enhanced ConversionsPass

Google Ads Enhanced Conversions appear to be set up — hashed first-party data is being passed to improve conversion accuracy.

User-ID TrackingInfo

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.

Checkout & Purchase CoverageWarning

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.

The basics for AI access are in place, but there's no llms.txt yet — an easy, high-leverage addition.

llms.txt fileWarning

No llms.txt file found. This is a plain-text, markdown-style index of your key pages that AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) increasingly check to understand a site quickly.

No /llms.txt found (404 or empty).

All 15 known AI crawlers are allowed.
Structured data for AI answersPass

Structured data (JSON-LD) is present with types AI answer engines commonly extract facts from (e.g. FAQPage, Product, Organization).

Schema.org types found: Organization, FAQPage.
Server-rendered contentPass

Meaningful text content is present in the raw HTML response — AI crawlers that don't execute JavaScript can still read and cite this page.

~864 words of text visible in the raw HTML response.
XML sitemapPass

A sitemap is available at /sitemap.xml, helping both search engines and AI crawlers discover your full set of pages efficiently.

Checks
GTM container detectedPass

GTM-MGG8F2V

A Google Tag Manager container is installed on this page.

Container script loads (gtm.js)Pass

1/1 container(s) returned a successful gtm.js response.

The container's JavaScript downloaded successfully, so GTM can run.

Noscript fallback presentPass

Found <noscript> ns.html iframe.

The fallback for visitors with JavaScript disabled is in place.

Snippet placement in <head>Pass

GTM snippet appears inside <head>.

The container is loaded early, as Google recommends, so tags fire as soon as possible.

dataLayer initialised before GTMWarning

dataLayer was not clearly initialised before the container snippet.

If the container loads before dataLayer is ready, early values (like ecommerce data) can be lost.

Fix this issue
GA4 firingPass

G-SGJY689RQS — collect hit observed.

Google Analytics 4 is actively sending pageview/event data.

JavaScript errors during loadInfo

12 error(s) logged.

JavaScript errors were logged during page load. These don't necessarily affect tracking — only errors that directly interrupt pixel execution matter. See any vendor-specific errors below for actionable issues.

Google Consent Mode v2Pass

default=true, update=true, signals=[analytics_storage, ad_storage, third_party_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization], CMP=OneTrust

Consent Mode v2 is configured via OneTrust. The default and update calls and the v2 signals (ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are all present.

Tag load performancePass

GTM 305ms, DOMContentLoaded 513ms

Tags loaded quickly (GTM in 0.30s) — no performance concern.

Cross-domain trackingInfo

No linker configuration observed

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.

Enhanced Conversions (Google Ads)Pass

enhanced_conversion_data in code

Google Ads Enhanced Conversions appear to be set up — hashed first-party data is being passed to improve conversion accuracy.

User-ID tracking (GA4)Info

Not detected

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.

Checkout / purchase coverageWarning

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 issue
