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 good shape, with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and several marketing pixels like TikTok, Meta, and Pinterest successfully firing on the homepage. However, there are a few areas of concern. The Shopify Trekkie analytics did not fire as expected, which could mean some native Shopify tracking isn't functioning properly. Additionally, there are conflicting GA4 IDs, which might lead to data discrepancies. For Shopify stores, it's important to ensure that Trekkie and the Web Pixels API are working correctly to avoid duplicate data collection. Next, you should audit your product, cart, checkout, and order-confirmation pages to ensure all necessary events are firing correctly. Given the issues found, I recommend connecting your store to PayHelm AI for a more detailed analysis and assistance.
Tag setup present but not confirmed 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 v2 configured.
Tags load quickly.
Conflicting or deprecated analytics IDs detected.
Consent Mode v2 is configured via Cookiebot. The default and update calls and the v2 signals (ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are all present.
Tags loaded quickly — 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 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.
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.
Multiple GA4 measurement IDs were found (G-ZNFMBTH6QH, G-P4Z21SF2HF, G-ST5B8SVH5B). Sending the same events to more than one GA4 property is sometimes intentional, but is often an accident that doubles event counts or splits data — confirm each ID is meant to be here.

No GTM-XXXX container; gtag.js present instead.
No GTM container detected. This store relies on Shopify Web Pixels and direct gtag.js — a perfectly valid architecture for Shopify. GTM may improve centralised management but is not required.

Google Analytics 4 is actively sending pageview/event data.
5 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.
Shop: kip-candle-co.myshopify.com
This is a Shopify store. Pixels can fire from three sources: GTM tags, hardcoded theme code, and Shopify Customer Events (Web Pixels API sandbox). All three are audited here.
Trekkie loaded but no monorail beacon observed
Trekkie is present but no network beacon was observed — it may be blocked, gated behind consent, or misconfigured.
Fix this issueWeb Pixels API / Shopify.analytics detected — pixels run in a sandboxed iframe
Shopify's Web Pixels API is active. Pixels installed via Shopify Admin → Settings → Customer Events run in a sandboxed iframe, independently of GTM — they cannot interfere with each other, but duplicates are still possible if the same vendor is also in GTM or theme code.

This site runs on Shopify. Tracking setup and common pitfalls differ by platform, which is factored into this audit.

Fix this issuepurchase 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 firing, but 'view_item_list' was found configured in the site's JavaScript. It may fire only when users take specific actions or visit the relevant page type. Not observed on this page. Set up 'view_item_list' on your collection/category/search pages for funnel visibility. On Shopify, events may fire via Customer Events (Shopify Web Pixels sandbox) and may not be visible in the dataLayer — verify in Shopify Admin → Settings → Customer Events.
Not observed during this load — 'select_item' requires user interaction on collection/category pages. Verify by manually testing the action on that page. On Shopify, events may fire via Customer Events (Shopify Web Pixels sandbox) and may not be visible in the dataLayer — verify in Shopify Admin → Settings → Customer Events.
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.
The audit automatically visited additional page types discovered on the site to verify tags fire across the full funnel, not just on the entry page.
