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 indicates that while Shopify's native analytics are functioning well, there are some areas for improvement. Notably, Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) are not set up, which means you're missing out on valuable insights from these tools. Shopify's Trekkie and Web Pixels API are working correctly, reducing the risk of duplicate pixel tracking. However, the absence of GTM and GA4 is a significant gap that should be addressed to enhance your tracking capabilities. Next, consider auditing your product pages, cart, and checkout processes to ensure comprehensive tracking across your site. Given these findings, I recommend connecting your store to PayHelm AI to optimize your analytics setup and gain deeper insights.
No GTM container or gtag.js detected.
No GA4 measurement detected.
4 of 4 key funnel stages look healthy.
No data-quality issues found in tracked events.
Consent Mode not detected.
Tag load timing not measured.
No conflicting analytics IDs.
No Google Consent Mode was detected. This mainly matters if you run Google Ads with EEA/UK traffic — no Google Ads pixel was seen on this site, so it's lower priority for now.
No tag load timing was captured (the container may not have loaded, or timing was unavailable).
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.
SEO basics are mostly in place with a few opportunities to improve.
Title is only 16 characters. Google shows 50–70 chars — consider expanding.
Unscripted Chaos (16 chars)No meta description. While not a direct ranking factor, a good description significantly improves click-through from search results.
No meta description found.One H1 heading found — the recommended structure for every page.
Unscripted ChaosNo noindex directive — the page is eligible to be indexed.
No robots meta tag (defaults to index, follow).Canonical tag points to the page itself — no duplicate-content signals sent to search engines.

No /sitemap.xml found.- Publish a sitemap.xml — it's the fastest way for both search engines and AI crawlers to discover every page worth citing, not just the ones linked from your homepage.
No GTM container found.
No Google Tag Manager container was found on this page. If you rely on GTM for analytics and ads tags, nothing will fire.
Fix this issueNo GA4 measurement detected.
No Google Analytics 4 tag was detected on this page.
1 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: shzaws-2a.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 beacon fired (monorail)
Shopify's built-in Trekkie analytics library is active and sending data to Shopify's own reporting.
Web 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.
cdn.shopify.com / window.Shopify
This site runs on Shopify. 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. This mainly matters if you run Google Ads with EEA/UK traffic — no Google Ads pixel was seen on this site, so it's lower priority for now.
DOMContentLoaded 1689ms
No tag load timing was captured (the container may not have loaded, or timing was unavailable).
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.
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 firing, but Shopify's native 'collection_viewed' event was found in the site's JavaScript — this maps to 'view_item_list'. It may route through Shopify Customer Events or Web Pixels rather than GTM. 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.
