Check that it works

Two things on the Tracking Script page tell you whether the install worked: a one-off check you run, and a standing health line per domain.

Verify installation

1. 1
   Load any page on your site after installing the snippet.
2. 2
   Back in Local Wrangler, click Verify installation under the snippet.
3. 3
   Installation verified means we found the script on your site, someone is on your site right now, or tracking data has arrived from it. We could not detect the tracker yet means none of those happened: make sure the snippet is in the page head and the page is publicly reachable, then click Check again. If you install through Google Tag Manager, open your site once so it can register.

Tracking health

The Tracking health card lists each active domain with a status, when its last pageview and last lead arrived, and its pageviews and leads for the last week:

• Not installed yet: the domain has never sent a pageview.
• Receiving data: pageviews are arriving.
• No recent data: nothing has arrived for 14 days, or a site that usually sends regular traffic has gone quiet. A low-traffic site with a normal gap between visits is not flagged.

Anything other than Receiving data shows a Check your tracking snippet link back to the setup steps.

Keeping your own visits out

The Exclude your own traffic card on the same page stops your team's visits from counting in analytics. Exclude an IP address (Use my IP fills in yours), a whole country, or a page path such as /admin, which also covers everything under it. This affects traffic stats only: a lead from an excluded visitor still comes through.

To test a form without polluting your numbers, open your browser console on the page and run _lwTest(true). Submissions made in test mode still reach Local Wrangler but are tagged as tests and kept out of your counts. Run _lwTest(false) when you are done. To stop tracking a browser entirely, use _lwIgnore(true).
