Real-time UTM validator, GA4 campaign builder, link redirect tracer, and campaign URL audit tool powered by ValidateURL.com.

#### Short Description Validate GA4 UTM campaigns in real time: UTM builder, link checker, redirect tracer, and on-page SEO audit. #### Detailed Description ValidateURL is a free, privacy-first Chrome extension for digital marketers, media buyers, and growth engineers. Validate Google Analytics 4 (GA4) campaign tracking, build compliant UTM links, trace redirects, and audit on-page SEO — all from your browser toolbar. WHY MARKETERS USE VALIDATEURL - Real-time validation: the toolbar icon flags missing, mis-cased, or malformed UTM parameters on the page you're viewing with a red (!) badge. - Fewer "Unassigned" campaigns: catch data-fragmentation issues (uppercase values, unencoded spaces, misplaced # anchors, zero-width characters) before you spend budget. - One place for the whole workflow: build, validate, trace, and audit campaign URLs without switching tools. KEY FEATURES - 🚀 Active Tab Error Detection: Automatically audits the active tab for missing required UTMs, uppercase casing mismatches, misplaced hash anchors (#), and unencoded spaces, with an instant alert badge (!). - 🔗 GA4 UTM Campaign Builder: Auto-imports the current tab URL and builds standardized UTM parameters in seconds. - 🎯 1-Click Platform Presets: Ready-made tagging for Google Ads (google / cpc), Meta Ads (facebook / paid_social), LinkedIn (linkedin / paid_social), and Email (newsletter / email). - ✨ Smart Auto-Fix: Repairs uppercase characters, misplaced query strings, zero-width characters, and HTML-entity artifacts in one click. - 🔄 Redirect Chain Tracer: Follows 301/302 hops to detect servers that silently strip your UTM parameters before users land. - 📱 App Store & Google Play Support: Detects iOS App Store, iTunes, and Google Play campaign links and routes them to the matching validator. - 🔍 On-Page SEO Audit: Scores the active page's title, meta description, H1, and image alt coverage. - 📷 Social Share Preview: Shows how the current page will appear when shared, using its Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. - 🖱️ Context Menu Shortcuts: Right-click any link or page to validate parameters, trace redirects, build UTMs, or send a campaign URL to the ValidateURL QR validator. - 🧪 QR & Offline Campaigns: Send print or offline QR destination URLs straight to the ValidateURL QR code validator for auditing. PRIVACY & SECURITY Privacy-first by design. URLs audited through the extension or the ValidateURL web tools are processed ephemerally via secure API endpoints solely to verify tracking parameters and trace redirect status codes. ValidateURL does not track, collect, store, or sell personal data or browsing history, and the extension runs no remote code (Manifest V3 compliant). **Category** Developer Tools (or Productivity) **Single Purpose** To validate and build GA4/UTM campaign URLs, trace link redirects, and audit the active page's tracking and metadata directly within the browser. **Primary Language** English
