container audit

GTM-TX847V4

15 tags, 12 custom scripts, 8 third-party hosts — an ordinary container, near the middle of what we measure (median: 39 tags, 4 custom scripts).

12 custom HTML tags carrying 4 KB of JavaScript. This runs on every page the container loads on.
8 third-party hosts reachable from its tags — more than 70% of the 46,522 containers we have measured.

What we observed

A real browser loaded sportsv.net a month 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 — Google

Measurement sent to www.sportsv.net — not Google, at /metrics-mghrkmrv/ga/g/c

Measurement is first-party; the container still loads from Google. These are separate decisions, and this is the more common of the two.

Forwarded to GA4 ×3 — read from the measurement id, not the hostname

Consent Quantcast answered its own API. 3 measurement hits left the page before it was granted, carrying a client id (whether that is permitted depends on jurisdiction, and this was not a European visit). 10 hosts appeared only after consent was granted. Google recorded gcs=G1 (no consent signal). 10 advertising hosts were contacted before anything was granted.

Third parties contacted 25 hosts — securepubads.g.doubleclick.net, www.googletagmanager.com, resource.tnlmediagene.com, sb.scorecardresearch.com, connect.facebook.net, static.dable.io, bucket-image.inkmaginecms.com, s.skimresources.com, and 17 more

Where the data goes

Confirmed — a browser watched this site send measurement data to www.sportsv.net, not to Google. observed on sportsv.net 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.

reviewHardcoded http:// URL (1)

1 piece of custom code reference a plain http:// address.

WhyOn an https:// page the browser blocks or upgrades these. Blocked means the tag quietly stops working; upgraded only works if that host also serves https.

CheckCheck whether the hosts below still respond over https, and update the URLs.

Seenseen in 12.8% of 46,522 containers measured

reviewNo consent signal in the container (1)

Nothing in this container sets, reads, or gates on a consent state.

WhyThe container itself neither sets a Consent Mode default, holds any tag back for consent, nor references a known consent platform. Either enforcement lives entirely outside GTM — where it cannot be audited from here — or tags fire regardless of what a visitor chose.

CheckIf a consent platform blocks scripts before GTM loads, this is fine — confirm that is actually the case. If not, tags are firing on a choice nobody recorded.

Seenseen in 52.1% of 46,522 containers measured

infoLoads JavaScript from another host (2)

2 pieces 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 this audit describes

Containers change. These findings describe one specific artifact, and you can re-fetch it to check this reading.

Container	`GTM-TX847V4`
Published version	`53` — the identity of this configuration. It changes only when someone publishes.
Read at	2026-08-23 18:14:07 UTC (a month ago)

Re-audit

This reading is from a month 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.
