Auditing H.Code Versions with SiteAudit

Don't check tag attributes by hand, use SiteAudit find pages you may not know are there or need updates.If you’re planning on or have recently updated your tags for SiteCatalyst (or any other data collection tag), you’ll want to know that you were successful in changing tags on every page. Depending on your implementation, this change can be made on most pages with a JS file swap. You may, however, be working with a site where this isn’t true (or at least not for all pages.) In order to identify and confirm the code version on every page of your site, there are a few options available to you.  You can use freeware/shareware tools such as the Omniture debugger, Firebug or the new Google Analytics Tracking Code Debugger, WASP, or our own SiteAudit Plugin. Any of these are great provided that you know where to look for tagging problems. But what happens if you don’t?

SiteAudit finds pages so you don’t have to.

Checking page versions (or really any variable) with SiteAudit is dead simple. First, set up and audit and let our cloud-based system crawl and catalogue your site. Get Instructions on setting up a

. After that’s done, finding the code version on every page of your site is a few clicks away. First, go in to your finished audit from the home page. What you’ll see next will look something like this:

Find the report suite that you’re checking in the list at the bottom of the page. Click the name to expand a table with one-click reports. One of the rows will be entitled “version.” Click the hyperlink on the very right column, which represents the resulting count found in the audit.

Next, you’ll see the “report builder” with pre-set filters, set to display the relevant data. Here’s it’s versions. We see that there are two versions of code on this site: H.17 and H.21. Clicking on the hyperlink will show a list of URL that, in this case, have the SiteCatalyst code version H.17

From there, click the Export button to download a TSV file containing the results of this filter.

If you prefer to work with Excel, simply import the TSV file. Share this file with your implementation team to fix the pages with outdated code. And that’s it! Now you can be sure that your analytics implementation is up to date on every page of your site, without having to manually look through pages. And SiteAudit can multiple sites of multi-millions of pages, stores all data in the cloud, and allows for multiple user accounts so you can streamline your tag QA process.
