After installing the Zenovay tracking script, it's important to verify that everything is working correctly. This guide shows you multiple ways to confirm your installation.

Method 1: Live View Check

The easiest way to verify tracking:

  1. Open Your Dashboard

    Log in to app.zenovay.com, open Domains, and select your website to open its dashboard.

  2. Go to the Live View Tab

    In the sidebar under Audience, open the Live View tab.

  3. Visit Your Website

    Open your website in a new browser tab (preferably in incognito mode).

  4. Watch for Your Visit

    Within seconds, you should see your visit appear in Live View with your location.

If you see your visit appear, your tracking is working correctly!

Method 2: Browser DevTools

For a more technical verification:

  1. Open your website in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge
  2. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
  3. Go to the Network tab
  4. Refresh the page
  5. Filter by typing "zenovay"

You should see requests like:

  • z.js — the tracking script loading
  • A request to /e — page view events being sent to Zenovay

Check Response Codes

Look for HTTP 200 or 204 response codes. These indicate successful tracking requests.

Method 3: Debug Mode

Enable debug mode to see tracking activity in the browser console:

<script
  defer
  src="https://api.zenovay.com/z.js"
  data-tracking-code="YOUR_TRACKING_CODE"
  data-debug="true"
></script>

With debug mode enabled:

  1. Open your website
  2. Open the browser console (F12 → Console tab)
  3. You'll see [Zenovay]-prefixed messages as the tracker initializes and sends your first page view

Method 4: Analytics Tab

After a few page views:

  1. Open your website's dashboard from Domains
  2. Open the Analytics tab (under Behavior in the sidebar)
  3. Check for data in the visitor chart
  4. Look for entries in "Top Pages" and "Countries"

Analytics data may take a few minutes to appear as it's processed in batches.

Verification Checklist

Use this checklist to ensure everything is set up correctly:

  • Tracking script is in the <head> section of your HTML
  • Tracking code matches what's in your dashboard
  • No JavaScript errors in browser console
  • Network requests to Zenovay are succeeding (200/204 status)
  • Live View shows your test visits
  • Analytics tab shows data after a few minutes

Common Issues

Script Not Loading

Content Security Policy

If your site uses CSP headers, ensure api.zenovay.com and *.zenovay.com are allowed in your script-src and connect-src directives.

Visits Not Appearing

Possible causes:

  • Ad blocker enabled: Try in incognito without extensions
  • Wrong tracking code: Double-check it matches your dashboard
  • Localhost testing: By default, localhost visits aren't tracked. Add data-allow-localhost="true" to the script tag to enable them while testing locally.
  • Cached page: Clear your browser cache and try again

Data Delays

Analytics data is processed every few minutes. If you don't see data immediately:

  • Wait 5-10 minutes
  • Refresh your dashboard
  • Check Live View (it's real-time)

Testing from Different Locations

To verify geographic tracking:

  1. Use a VPN to connect from different locations
  2. Check Live View to see different countries appearing
  3. Open the Globe tab to see visitor markers worldwide

Next Steps

Now that tracking is verified:
