Where Tag Scout Searches

Tag Scout checks the most common areas inside WordPress where tracking scripts are stored:

wp_options – Plugin settings and stored configuration values
wp_posts – Including the Code Snippets CPT
wp_postmeta – Elementor, other page builders, and ACF fields
Legacy Code Snippets table – If present
Active theme files – header.php, footer.php, and functions.php

Why This Matters

Tracking code can accumulate over time, especially after redesigns, plugin changes, or analytics migrations. Tag Scout helps you:

Identify duplicate GA4 or UA implementations
Locate unexpected or outdated Tag Manager containers
Find Pixel IDs added through old plugins or theme settings
Determine whether tracking originates from a plugin, theme, or a custom snippet
