I’ve been working on a project that I think could be really useful for this community, especially if you’re dealing with a lot of tracking setups or audits.

# I built the Tracker Checker, a free Chrome extension that helps you quickly see:

- **GA4 & GTM Implementation** : It instantly checks if your Google Analytics 4 or Google Tag Manager setup is **server-side** or **client-side**. No more guessing or digging through scripts—you’ll know right away!
- **Detailed Tracker List** : Tracker Checker also scans the site and shows you all the trackers that are running, like Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insights, and more.
- **Google Consent Mode Insights** : Easily check which version of Google Consent Mode is active (v1 or v2) and verify if your consent settings are working as expected.
- **External Resources Check** : While it’s not a full performance monitor, it helps you spot external resources that could be affecting page speed or loading issues.

# Why I Made It:

I was frustrated with how much manual work it takes to verify if tracking setups are working as expected. Whether you’re auditing a client’s site or managing your own, I wanted a tool that simplifies this process, and the **Tracker Checker** does just that. It’s free, easy to use, and doesn’t require an expert to understand the results.

You can get it here on the [Chrome Store: Tracker Checker](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nixon-digital-tracker-che/niamgkmcfickcpmbdheldknknepgibed?utm_source=%2Fr%2FGoogleTagManager&utm_medium=Redditpost&utm_id=%2Fr%2FGoogleTagManager) for free. If you try it out, I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

I hope it saves you some frustrations.

Hi there!

Thanks for sharing this! We really appreciate your input into this community. I checked it out and it’s really easy to use and informative, especially the consent view 🙂 Are you planning on adding Piwik PRO to the list of recognized trackers? (and recognized cookie banners)
