Website Tracking & Analytics Audit
Free SEO + tracking audit — see exactly what's broken in under 60 seconds
Your website's tracking infrastructure is mostly in place, but there are a few areas that need attention. Google Tag Manager (GTM) is correctly installed and functioning, and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is firing as expected on your homepage. However, there are some warnings: the dataLayer wasn't initialized before the GTM container, which can affect data accuracy, and Google Consent Mode is not being utilized, potentially impacting compliance with privacy regulations. Additionally, the tag load performance is slower than ideal, which might affect user experience and data collection speed. Since your site is not using Shopify, there are no concerns about Trekkie or Web Pixels API. The next step would be to audit your product pages, cart, and checkout to ensure all necessary events fire correctly across the entire purchase funnel. Given the warnings identified, I recommend connecting your store to PayHelm AI for a more comprehensive analysis and guidance on optimizing your tracking setup.
GTM container installed and loading.
GA4 is installed and sending data.
Not an ecommerce store — scored on basic analytics coverage.
No data-quality issues found in tracked events.
Consent Mode not detected.
Tag loading is slower than ideal.
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.
Google Tag Manager loaded in 2.9s — a little slow. Keeping it under ~1.5s helps both tracking accuracy and page speed.
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 appear to be set up — hashed first-party data is being passed to improve conversion accuracy.
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.
Marketing & analytics tags observed sending data while the page loaded.
Every dataLayer push observed during page load — with full payload and configuration analysis.
›GTM lifecycle events (3)— gtm.js, gtm.dom, gtm.load, etc.
Data points present in the dataLayer that your tags can read (the values pushed alongside each event).
The actual tracking requests your browser sent — the ground-truth proof that a tag fired.
GTM-T8ZZ62Z2
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 was not clearly initialised before the container snippet.
If the container loads before dataLayer is ready, early values (like ecommerce data) can be lost.

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.

Fix this issueNo 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-conversion params on Ads hit
Google Ads Enhanced Conversions appear to be set up — hashed first-party data is being passed to improve conversion accuracy.
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.
Ecommerce Funnel — Not Applicable
This site doesn't appear to be an online store, so the ecommerce funnel report has been skipped. GTM tag coverage, triggers, variables, and on-page scripts are still audited above.
If this site does sell products, try re-running the audit on a product page URL — that will surface add-to-cart, checkout, and purchase event coverage.
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.
Meta Pixel script (fbevents.js) found hardcoded directly in the page HTML.
Fix: Remove the hardcoded snippet and use a GTM 'Facebook Pixel' or 'Custom HTML' tag instead.
Risk: If GTM also fires Meta Pixel, you'll double-count conversions and inflate ROAS. Centralising in GTM also lets you pause, version, and conditionally fire without a code deploy.
Your tracking has gaps — PayHelm can fix this.
