Stop Leaving Ad Revenue On The Table

Publishers lose up to 25% of their ad yield due to misconfigured ad units, slow scripts, or collapsed inventory slots that never load correctly.

📉

Identify Revenue Leaks

Unfilled ad slots that don't collapse create poor user experiences and represent direct revenue leaks. Find them and fix them instantly.

Verify Lazy Loading

Ensure your ads only request bids as they approach the user's viewport to drastically improve viewability rates and yield per impression.

🛠️

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and security questions regarding the operation and setup of Monetiscope Ad Inspector.

What is Monetiscope Ad Inspector?
It is a free Google Chrome browser extension that helps web publishers and ad operations teams debug, audit, and optimize their Google Publisher Tag (GPT) setup and header bidding configurations directly inside any active browser tab.
Does Ad Inspector collect any personal user data?
No. Monetiscope Ad Inspector operates entirely locally inside your browser sandbox. It reads public GPT configurations and header bidding variables to compile reports without tracking page visitor behavior or collecting user identifiers.
Which browsers are supported by Ad Inspector?
The extension is supported on Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and any other Chromium-based desktop browsers that support the Chrome Web Store format.
How do I open Ad Inspector after installing it?
Once installed, navigate to any webpage, open the Chrome DevTools dashboard (F12 or right-click → Inspect), and select the "Monetiscope Ad Inspector" tab in the DevTools menu.
What is SRA and why does Ad Inspector check it?
SRA (Single Request Architecture) sends a consolidated batch request to the ad server for all slots on the page instead of separate requests. Ad Inspector audits this setting to prevent latency and layout shifts.
Can Ad Inspector help verify if lazy loading is working?
Yes. Ad Inspector monitors the initialization state of each slot and logs exactly when the slot makes its ad request as the viewport scrolls down the page.
How does the extension analyze collapsed empty divs?
It tracks whether ad containers collapse when empty. If a slot fails to load a creative and does not collapse, Ad Inspector highlights it as a layout shift risk.
Does it support header bidding CPM tracking?
Yes. It connects to standard pbjs global configurations to retrieve participating bidders, bid latencies, CPM estimates, and the winning SSP creative.
Can Ad Inspector trace targeted key-value pairs?
Yes. The extension maps page-level and slot-level targeting keys set via Google Publisher Tags, making it simple to verify campaign delivery rules.
How does the live auction log stream work?
It listens to GPT and Prebid event loops directly, showing sequential stages (Request, Auction Init, Bid Responses, Render) in a live, filterable stream.
Can I use Ad Inspector to verify privacy compliance?
Yes. It audits consent settings such as TCF v2.2 compliance strings, US Privacy strings, and generic CCPA signals to ensure ads do not render before user consent is logged.
What does the overlay ad mapping option do?
It renders a visual overlay over active slots on the screen, showing the slot ID, targeted sizes, active rendering sizes, and refresh counts.
Why do I see a latency warning on my bidder calls?
It triggers when a header bidding SSP takes longer than the configured page timeout to submit its bid, indicating a yield loss risk due to timeout penalties.
Is there a premium version of Ad Inspector?
The browser extension is 100% free for all publishers. Premium yield dashboards and server-side automation features are available through Monetiscope's enterprise platform.
How can I share audit reports with my dev team?
You can export the logged event log stream or copy the slot targeting parameters in one click from the diagnostic panel to share via Jira or Slack.
