Home / FAQ
What does the free scan actually check?

It opens your page in a real browser and watches the network requests every platform fires - GA4, Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, Bing, LinkedIn. You get tag presence, surface funnel events, consent timing, config quality, a score and a rough cost estimate.

How is this different from a tag-presence checker?

A presence checker tells you a pixel is installed. duckmetric checks whether events actually fire, whether the data inside is correct, whether they duplicate, fire before consent, or de-duplicate server-side. Presence is the easy 10%; the rest is where the money is.

Why can't the free scan verify purchase tracking?

Purchase and add-payment-info only happen after a real transaction, which an external crawl can't complete. The full audit reaches them with a real session or by connecting your ad and analytics accounts.

How do monitoring alerts work?

We re-scan your chosen pages on a schedule. When a tag or event goes from firing to broken, you get one alert by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams - on the change, not on every scan. More on monitoring.

My site is behind Cloudflare or bot protection. Will it work?

Bot protection can serve our checker a security challenge instead of the real page - that's the protection working, not your tracking failing. A full audit reaches the site from a real browser session or via connected accounts.

Do you store my data?

The free scan reads the public page like any visitor's browser. RUM, if you install it, is a first-party snippet you control with a key from your dashboard. Questions about data handling? Ask us directly.

Is duckmetric available in Lithuanian?

Yes - the whole product and reports are available in English and Lithuanian.

Do you only show issues, or help fix them?

The free scan shows the main gaps. The full audit gives you a clear fix plan that can be handed to a developer or agency. After fixes, we can re-check the setup to confirm the issue is actually resolved.
