Check the links on a page (free)

Open the page, click the Tag Docket button and choose Check, then Check links on this page. Or right-click the page and choose Check the tagged links on this page.

Every tagged link is listed, worst first, with what GA4 will get wrong: capital letters, spaces, missing source, medium or campaign, tags after the #, and the rest of the rules on the free UTM checker. Each link is outlined on the page in its color, with the problem shown when you hover over it, and Show on page scrolls to it. Hide outlines takes them off. If the tab’s own address carries tags, it is checked too, and you can paste links to check them.

The check runs in your browser. The page and its links are never sent anywhere.

Build a link

On the Build tab, pick the client. Each dropdown offers only that client’s approved values, so “Facebook”, “facebook” and “fb” can’t all end up in your reports. The extension remembers which client you last used on each website and picks it for you.

  • This page uses the tab you’re on as the destination. Tracking from your own visit, such as utm_ tags, gclid and fbclid, is removed first, and the extension says what it took off.
  • Channel shortcuts fill in source and medium for Facebook ads, Google Ads, email, direct mail and more.
  • The Preview shows the link as you go, with plain-English warnings before you create it.
  • Create link (Ctrl+Enter, or ⌘+Enter on a Mac) creates it and logs it in the client’s registry with your name. Paste a list creates a batch from a list of addresses.

You can also right-click a page and choose Build a Tag Docket link for this page, or right-click a link and choose Build a Tag Docket link to this address.

Short links, QR codes and Insert into page

Once a link is created:

  • Copy copies it.
  • Insert into page types it into the field you were editing, such as the website URL box in an ad platform or the link dialog in your CMS.
  • Short link makes a short tgd.li link for print and QR codes.
  • QR code draws a print-ready code, sized for where it will be printed, to download as SVG for the printer or PNG for slides.

The Links tab

The Links tab lists the client’s latest 50 links: who made each one, when, and how often its short link was scanned. Search them, copy one again, insert it, show its QR code, or choose Reuse values to load its values into Build for the next variation.

Shortcuts

  • Alt+Shift+T opens Tag Docket.
  • Alt+Shift+Y opens it in the side panel.

You can change them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Plans

The extension works on every plan. Checking is free for anyone. On the free plan, links created in the extension count toward its five new links a month, and the finished link appears when you create it. Paid plans don’t count links. See pricing.

What the extension can reach

It talks only to Tag Docket. It reads the tab you open it on, and only after you click its button or one of its menu items. It sends Tag Docket the destination and values for links you create, and nothing from the free check. Signing in asks Google only for your name and email address; the extension never sees your Google password. The privacy policy has the details.

Questions

Do I need a Tag Docket account?
Not to check links. The Check tab is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser. Building links and the Links tab need you to be a member of an agency on Tag Docket. The free plan covers one client and five new links a month.
It says “No agency yet”.
The extension signs you in with Google to confirm your email address. That address has to be the one your agency invited, or the one you started the agency with. Ask an owner to invite it, then choose I’ve been invited: check again. Or choose Use a different account and sign in with the Google account you use for Tag Docket.
Does it read the pages I visit?
Only when you ask it to. It reads the address of the tab you open it on, and reads that page’s links when you choose Check links on this page. It doesn’t record your browsing, and the check never leaves your browser. Access to every site is optional and off when you install it.
Insert into page didn’t work.
Click into the field first, such as the website URL box in the ad, then use Insert into page. Some fields, including ones inside a frame, can’t be typed into from outside. When that happens the link is copied instead, so you can paste it.
How do I remove it?
Right-click the Tag Docket button in Chrome’s toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. Links you created stay in your agency’s registry.
