Website Tracking & Analytics Audit
Free SEO + tracking audit — see exactly what's broken in under 60 seconds
The audit of your website's home page shows that your Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) are set up correctly, with both systems firing as expected. However, there are some areas of concern. Notably, there's a missing `<noscript>` fallback, which could affect data collection for users with JavaScript disabled, and the site is not utilizing Google Consent Mode, which is important for compliance with privacy regulations. Additionally, the tag load performance is slower than ideal, which might impact user experience and data accuracy. Since your site is not on Shopify, Trekkie/Web Pixels API is not applicable, but the absence of Universal Analytics and the noted console errors should be addressed. Next, you should audit other critical pages like product, cart, and checkout to ensure comprehensive tracking. Given these issues, I recommend connecting your store to PayHelm AI for further insights and optimization.
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.
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 took 3.3s to load. Slow tag loading delays tracking and can hurt page performance — consider reducing the number of tags or loading them later.
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.
WooCommerce markup (woocommerce / wc-* classes) in HTML
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-PL8ZXL8X
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.
No <noscript> fallback found in the HTML source.
The recommended <noscript> fallback is missing. It's minor, but Google's standard install includes it.
Fix this issueGTM 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-4DS62T15M8 — collect hit observed.
Google Analytics 4 is actively sending pageview/event data.
2 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.
WooCommerce markup (woocommerce / wc-* classes) in HTML
This site runs on WooCommerce. Tracking setup and common pitfalls differ by platform, which is factored into this audit.
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 issueGTM 3280ms, GA4 first hit 5014ms, DOMContentLoaded 5463ms
Google Tag Manager took 3.3s to load. Slow tag loading delays tracking and can hurt page performance — consider reducing the number of tags or loading them later.
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.
Not detected
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.
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.
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.
Function rdt not implemented.
Function snaptr not implemented.
