How to Add Speed Layer to Your Dealership Website
Purpose
This page describes the typical installation pattern for Speed Layer and what information is needed to complete setup.
Speed Layer installs as a single JavaScript tag placed on your website so it can run early in the page lifecycle.
What you need before you start
Have the following ready:
- The domain(s) where Speed Layer should run
- Access to edit your website header or global script area (varies by website platform)
- A contact who can implement the tag if you do not have direct access
Installation overview
Most installations follow this pattern:
- Add the Speed Layer JavaScript tag to your website template or tag manager location that runs on every page.
- Ensure the tag loads as early as possible.
- Publish the change.
- Confirm Speed Layer is active using the checks in the verification page.
Where the tag is typically placed
The goal is for the Speed Layer tag to run early. Placement depends on your platform:
- Directly in the site header or global template
- In a platform level script injection area
- In a tag manager, if it supports early loading and consistent execution
If your platform injects tags late in the page, results may be limited. In that situation, a template level placement is usually preferred.
Safety and rollback
Speed Layer is designed to be removable. If you need to roll back:
- Remove the Speed Layer tag
- Publish the change
