ObservePoint’s Debugger is a free Chrome Extension for troubleshooting analytics and marketing tags on your live website.

ObservePoint’s full platform of web governance solutions can help you: 🔅 Scan batches of pages or sequences of actions to verify accurate data collection 🔅 Monitor your live implementation for errors in analytics tracking and variable formatting 🔅 Test analytics in development and staging environments before releasing to production 🔅 Simulate important customer journeys to test for obstacles in conversion paths 🔅 Identify and locate cookies set by tags 🔅 Receive notifications whenever your implementation fails expectations Get a free trial to see how ObservePoint can help you automate and scale analytics testing, privacy monitoring, and experience validation on your entire website: https://www.observepoint.com/free-trial/ :: More Details About The ObservePoint Debugger :: Debugger is designed to help you debug analytics and marketing tags on a page-by-page basis. After installing the Debugger extension, you will see a new tab in your Chrome Developer Tools. Simply open this tab, refresh the page, and see which marketing and analytics tags and cookies are firing on your website. For each tag, you will see the following information: 🔅 Tag Name (e.g. Google Analytics 4, Adobe Analytics, Ensighten, OneTrust CMP Banner) 🔅 Account (e.g. op-prod, G-299302931) 🔅 Category (e.g. Analytics, Advertising, Social, Tag Management) 🔅 Status (standard HTTP response codes) 🔅 Request size/Response size 🔅 Total Time/Latency 🔅 Cookies Set by the "set-cookies" Header :: Basic Debugging :: Clicking into each tag allows you to see the network request formatted as an easy-to-read list of variables and cookies set by the tag. You can also view the actual request in both its HTML-encoded and decoded formats. To clear the log, simply click the “Clear Collected Data” button at the top right of the extension’s interface. :: Debugging On-Click Events and Cross-Domain Tracking :: By default, Debugger retains the log of requests when navigating to a new page. By toggling the "Preserve log" option in the extension’s interface, users can make the log clear when moving from page to page. This may hinder troubleshooting on-click events and cross-domain tracking. :: Downloading Data :: Users can download an Excel file of each tag by clicking on the “Export data” button at the top right of the interface. This data will appear in your Downloads folder as a file named OP_Debugger_Results_[CURRENT-DATE].xslx. :: Get Started :: Debugger is an excellent alternative for anyone who may currently use one or more of the following solutions: WASP, Charles, Fiddler, OmniBug, Adobe Debugger, or Tag Inspector. To use this extension, follow these five easy steps: 1. Ensure the extension is enabled by selecting More Tools from the Google Chromes’ ellipses menu, then selecting Extensions, and verifying the ObservePoint Debugger is enabled. 2. Open the Chrome Developer Tools: --On Windows and Linux, press Control-Shift-I or F12. --On Mac, press Command-Option-I. 3. Select the ObservePoint panel. 4. Refresh the page you are on. 5. Click on a tag to start debugging.

This extension used to have utility, but now it opens a new tab claiming it is "updated" in every browser, every time I open a browser. Over and over and over. It's beyond annoying, and I am removing this extension from all browsers immediately. I used to use it and actually recommended it to some colleagues, but NEVER again. Buggy, annoying, and annoying. Also, it's SUPER ANNOYING to get these tabs opening up repeatedly, which is really annoying. Now, you should be as annoyed as I am using ... Show more

Hey Chris, sorry about this. We had a bug that caused the annoying pop-ups. These are resolved and we have tests in place to prevent this type of thing from happening again. Hope you'll give us another try.

Hey Pretty reliable in detecting and parsing tag that effectively did fire But since a few days it keeps opening a new tab towards https://www.observepoint.com/ claiming that it has updated. Once would be OK, but now it's daily !!! Please let us work !

Used it once a few months ago, and it was a helpful tool! I only need to use it very infrequently though, and for the last few weeks it automatically opens up a new tab every day with an ad for it's new features and premium version. I'm removing the extension just to stop the constant ads. If I need the tool again, I'll install it, use it, then quickly uninstall it again. :/
