Multiple Google Tags
-
It looks like we have 5 google tag scripts running . Two of these I recognize , G-WJCVQ5RD8L and UA-143494378-1 . The other 3 are unknown to me. We are using pixel manager for woocommerce . This is being flagged as one of the reasons for our FCP being high .

Hi @bobconan
I’m the developer of the Pixel Manager for WooCommerce and have plenty of experience with questions like yours. So I’ll try to answer it as good as I can.
1. The Pixel Manager only injects Google tags that you configure in the Pixel Manager, nothing else.
2. There are multiple additional gtags being injected into the website source code: https://cln.sh/Fpxk70Zm This is third-party code, so I can’t tell you exactly where it is coming from. It could be a third-party google plugin, maybe a header footer script plugin, or custom code in functions.php or custom code in the theme files. This must have been installed by someone who has access to your install and is for sure not part of a WordPress default install.
3. The Pixel Manager loads the gtags as specified by Google and it does it asynchronously. Because it loads asynchronously, this has only little impact on the FCP (if at all). Plus, after the first page load on a website, it loads the libraries from the browser cache very quickly. Personally, I wouldn’t bother so much about that. But, if you want to improve this, you can try to lazy load the scripts using something like WP Rockets delay script execution function. Or you can try the integrated lazy load feature in the Pixel Manager Pro version.
Kind regards
Aleksandar
