Website Tracking & Analytics Audit

darcie-ella.com Tracking & SEO Audit — Grade F

A saved report based on tracking and pages observed during this scan.

Works, with issueshttps://www.darcie-ella.com/

Read the full audit summary

The audit of your homepage reveals some important areas for improvement in your site's tracking setup. Currently, there is no Google Tag Manager (GTM) container or Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tracking in place, which means you're missing out on valuable insights into your website's performance. Additionally, the Google Consent Mode is not active, which could impact data collection under privacy regulations. Since your store uses Shopify, it's concerning that neither Trekkie nor the Web Pixels API are detected, which are essential for accurate Shopify-native analytics and avoiding duplicate pixel issues. To ensure comprehensive tracking, I recommend auditing other key pages like product pages, the cart, and the checkout to see if these issues persist. Given the current gaps, connecting your store to PayHelm AI could provide the necessary tools to optimize your analytics setup effectively.

Tag PerformanceInfo

No tag load timing was captured (the container may not have loaded, or timing was unavailable).

DOM ready 0.90sPage load 1.90s

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 ConversionsInfo

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.

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.
