container audit
GTM-MV8XGRZ
179 tags, 4 custom scripts, 3 third-party hosts — an ordinary container, near the middle of what we measure (median: 39 tags, 4 custom scripts).
- 4 custom HTML tags carrying 6 KB of JavaScript. This runs on every page the container loads on.
- 3 third-party hosts reachable from its tags.
duplicate-ads-conversionis uncommon — under 4% of the containers we have measured have it. That is context rather than a verdict: a server container is rarer still and is a sign of a mature setup. What it means is in the finding itself.

What we observed
A real browser loaded lloydspharmacy.com 2 months ago and recorded every request it made. This is what happened, as distinct from what the container is configured to do. It is one page load — anything that fires only deeper in the site did not fire here.
Container loaded from
googletagmanager.com — GoogleMeasurement sent to
google-analytics.com — GoogleConsent
a consent platform is present, but our browser could not complete the accept step — so the before-and-after comparison did not run here. 3 hosts appeared only after consent was granted. Google recorded

25 hosts — fonts.googleapis.com, cdn.shopify.com, static.legitscript.com, otlp-http-production.shopifysvc.com, www.googletagmanager.com, shopify-gtm-suite.getelevar.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, shop.app, and 17 more

Where the data goes
Not observed — on the page we loaded, measurement went to Google and nowhere else. observed on lloydspharmacy.com More info »
Findings
Ordered by consequence. review has a concrete cost when it bites; info is real but depends on your setup. Seen is how common it is across the containers we have measured — reported separately on purpose, because common and harmless are different claims.
reviewSame Google Ads conversion defined more than once (1)
1 conversion action is defined by more than one tag.
WhyA conversion ID plus label identifies one action. Two tags carrying the same pair can report the same conversion twice, inflating conversion counts and the ROAS that bidding runs on.
CheckCheck whether both tags can fire on the same page. If they can, your Ads reporting is overstating this action and automated bidding is optimising against it.
Seenseen in 3.8% of 46,522 containers measured
infoConsent configuration detected (2)
The container declares one or more consent signals.
WhyConsent handling is present in the container. This describes what the artifact declares; what actually happened on the page is measured separately, above.
CheckConfirm these settings match the consent policy you intend to enforce, and compare them with the before-and-after observation.
Seenseen in 44.6% of 46,522 containers measured
infoLoads JavaScript from another host (1)
1 piece of custom code fetch and run JavaScript from another host.
WhyWhatever that host serves executes with full access to the page — it can read the DOM, cookies and form fields. The code is not in this container, so it can change at any time without any change here.
CheckConfirm you recognise every host below and that someone owns the relationship. A host you cannot name is the one to chase.

Third parties it can reach
Each host is a party that can execute code or receive data in a visitor's browser. Follow one to see who else loads it. More info »
What the custom templates can do
Custom templates are third-party code shipped inside the container. Injecting scripts and running page globals is ordinary for them — most tag templates need it to work — so this is an inventory, not a warning. It lists the capability each template declares so you can match it against templates you meant to install.
__cvt_M6BJS gallery injects code from cdn.cookiehub.eu, dash.cookiehub.comDetected on
Sites observed loading this container. A container used across many hosts is a shared template; one on a single host is a bespoke build. Follow a site to see every container it loads.

Re-audit
This reading is from 2 months ago. A container can be republished at any time, and nothing here updates on its own — a fresh read is the only way to know whether it still says this. Running it again replaces this page in place, so the link keeps working.
Put this container under version control. Tagora exports it to a repository you own, so every change arrives as a pull request. How it works »
