The process includes technical reviews of <a href=\"https:\/\/digixray-labs.com\/en\/\">Core Web Vitals<\/a>, security considerations, and fundamental SEO practices. Clear prioritization is crucial: First, tracking and consent should be secured, followed by improvements to performance and user experience (UX). Finally, strategic decisions such as a redesign or server-side tagging can be made. Verified metrics and legal requirements regarding cookie consent form the basis for sound decisions. (developers.google.com)<\/p>\n<h2>Common Problems and Symptoms<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Insufficient session or conversion numbers in Analytics despite positive ad or CRM data.<\/li>\n<li>Discrepancies between web server logs and analytics data, such as a high number of hits in the server log but few sessions in GA4.<\/li>\n<li>Gaps in event reports, often caused by incorrect tags, missing measurement IDs, or JavaScript errors.<\/li>\n<li>Consent banners completely block cookies, which is legally relevant in Austria. Technically necessary cookies are exempt; consent is required for other cookies. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<li>Poor user experience due to slow loading times, layout shifts, and poor interactivity. These issues are reflected in high LCP\/CLS\/INP scores. (developer.chrome.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Verified Facts<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Core Web Vitals:<\/strong> LCP, INP, and CLS are standard metrics. The \u201egood\u201c thresholds are LCP \u2264 2.5 s, INP \u2264 200 ms, and CLS \u2264 0.1, as measured at the 75th percentile of real Chrome user data. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Google measures Core Web Vitals using data from Chrome <a href=\"https:\/\/digixray-labs.com\/en\/\">User Experience<\/a> Report (CrUX), typically based on a rolling 28-day window. (developer.chrome.com)<\/li>\n<li>Universal Analytics has stopped processing data; GA4 or alternative systems should be used. Make sure your property is actively collecting data. (support.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>The Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) requires consent for non-essential cookies. Information on this is available in the DSB FAQs. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<li>Server-side tagging offers benefits in terms of data protection control and potential performance improvements. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Web applications should follow the OWASP security best practices. (top10.owasp.org)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to Measure\u2014and How<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Tracking Basics:<\/strong> Verify the existence and functionality of the tags using tag preview\/debug tools, the browser's network console, and server-side logs. Test cases: page view, form submission, checkout flow. (marketingplatform.google.com)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics Data Integrity:<\/strong> Compare server logs with GA4 sessions and Ads clicks with last-click conversions. A lack of alignment indicates tag errors, consent blocking, or filters. (support.google.com)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance\/UX:<\/strong> Use Core Web Vitals from Search Console or CrUX; supplement these with PageSpeed Insights\/Lighthouse for root cause analysis. Pay attention to the p75 values for mobile and desktop. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Technical SEO and Visibility:<\/strong> Check for indexing errors, mobile usability, structured data, and crawl budget. Follow Google's guidelines on helpful content and spam updates. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy &amp; Consent:<\/strong> Check which cookies are set before consent is given and whether the consent solution is documented and auditable. Server-side tagging can be used to reduce exposure to third parties. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety &amp; Maintenance:<\/strong> Check the TLS configuration, security headers, OWASP Top 10 risk assessment, and backup and patch status. Tools: SSL Labs, Security Scanner, WAF logs. (top10.owasp.org)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Business Impact<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A lack of tracking results in a \"blind\" marketing budget: You pay for clicks but can't determine the actual return on conversion.<\/li>\n<li>Poor Core Web Vitals can reduce visibility in Google Search and user conversions, as slow or unstable pages cause users to abandon their purchases. Google uses Core Web Vitals as part of the Page Experience signal. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Data protection violations can lead to complaints or regulatory action; in Austria, the DSB is responsible. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Priorities: Now \/ Next Steps \/ Later<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Now (immediately, 1\u20132 weeks):<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Secure admin access; document existing Analytics properties and tags.<\/li>\n<li>Restore Basis Tracking: Make pageviews and core events visible; GTM Preview + browser network check. (marketingplatform.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Verify consent: no non-essential cookies before consent is given. Implement the DSB guidelines. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next Steps (1\u20133 Months):<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Performance Quick Wins: critical CSS, image optimization, caching, CDN. Measurable via LCP\/INP\/CLS. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Implement server-side tagging when privacy and performance justify it. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Consolidation: Link Search Console, GA4, and Ads accounts; basic dashboards for revenue and leads.

Are events and conversions tracked? Is GTM Preview available? Have server logs been reviewed against Analytics reports? (support.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>Consent &amp; Law: Is the cookie banner compliant? No non-essential cookies before consent is given? DSB FAQs taken into account. (dsb.gv.at)<\/li>\n<li>Performance: Core Web Vitals (CrUX p75) for key templates; PSI\/Lighthouse for root cause analysis. (developers.google.com)<\/li>\n<li>SEO &amp; Visibility: Have Search Console errors, structured data, and robots.txt\/sitemap been checked? Have helpful content standards been followed?
