About this plugin
Tracking scripts can hide in many places — plugins, themes, and custom code.
Tag Scout shows you exactly where each tracking code originates.
It scans any URL on your site and detects:
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Universal Analytics (legacy) Google Tag Manager (GTM) Meta Pixel Hotjar Microsoft Clarity
Tag Scout searches your WordPress installation for matching fragments in:
- wp_options (option values)
- wp_posts (post content across all post types, including Code Snippets CPT)
- wp_postmeta (meta values: page builders, ACF, etc.)
- Legacy Code Snippets table ({prefix}snippets), if present
- Key theme files: header.php, footer.php, functions.php in parent and child themes
Results are shown as clean cards with:
) Snippet preview “Found in…” list (options, posts, postmeta, Code Snippets, theme files)
Tag Scout is read-only. It never changes your database or files — it just helps you find where to fix things.
Tag Scout does not connect to any third-party APIs or services. It only requests your own site’s URL using wp_remote_get() and scans that HTML for known tracking patterns.
