Testing Your Ruler Analytics Tracking Tag

Once you have installed the Ruler tracking tag on your website, you can use your browser's Developer Tools to check that the tag is firing and sending data to Ruler.

We recommend completing this test after installing or making changes to your Ruler tracking tag.

How to Test Your Ruler Tracking

1. Open Your Website

Navigate to the website where you have installed the Ruler tracking tag.

2. Open Developer Tools

Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect to open your browser's Developer Tools.

3. Open the Network Tab

Within Developer Tools, select the Network tab.

4. Filter for Ruler Requests

In the Network tab, locate the Filter field and enter:

ra-

This will filter the network requests to help you identify requests generated by Ruler.

5. Reload the Page

Reload the page while the Network tab is open.

You should see a request with a name beginning with:

ra-tracker...

The request should appear shortly after the page has finished loading.

6. Check the Request Payload

Select the ra-tracker... request and open the Payload section.

You should see a field named:

action

The value should be:

track

If you can see the ra-tracker... request and the action value is set to track, this indicates that the Ruler tracking tag is firing and sending data.

Test Additional Pages

We recommend repeating this test across key pages of your website, particularly:

• Your homepage
• Landing pages
• Lead generation pages
• Contact or enquiry pages
• Any other pages that form part of your customer journey

The Ruler tracking request should fire on each new page view where the tracking tag is installed and able to run.
