Overview
This article explains the information displayed in the ObervePoint debugger. For information on troubleshooting, downloading, and using the Tag Debugger see: ObservePoint Tag Debugger (Chrome Extension).
Tag Name
All of the tags and technologies that fire on a page show up under the column Tag Name. Underneath Tag Name is the Path, which is the actual network request where the tag was called from. Clicking on the Tag Name brings up the full URL path. In the debugger window, the URL is displayed as Actual and Decoded Request. Selecting the variables tab will display a list of all variables for that particular tag.
Account, Vendor, Category, & Status Code
The Account column displays the ID number associated with the tag. One tag can have multiple accounts. The category column classifies the type of tag it is i.e. Analytics, Advertising, etc. Status codes indicates the result of the page load. A list of their meanings can be found in Mozila's W3C reference documentation.
Tag Performance: Request Size and Response Size
A request is relayed from a network to a server and the server responds. Request size shows the outgoing http size in Bytes while the response size is the server's response to the http request.
The time period from when a request is sent until the server responds is called Response Time. The Load Time is the time after the server responds and the tag loads.
