When a Third-Party Tool Isn’t Loading
Purpose
Help diagnose when a third party tool is not loading after Speed Layer installation.
Step 1: Confirm the issue is real and repeatable
- Test in an incognito window.
- Test on mobile and desktop if possible.
- Note which pages are affected.
Step 2: Check whether the tool is blocked by consent settings
Some tools are intentionally gated by consent or regional rules.
Step 3: Check the browser console for errors
Console errors often point to:
- A missing dependency script
- A script conflict
- A blocked network request

Step 4: Check network requests
Look for the vendor domain in the Network tab.
- If requests are missing, the script may not be inserted.
- If requests fail, it may be blocked by CSP, ad blockers, or network issues.

Step 5: Validate script placement and installation
If Speed Layer is installed incorrectly, script coordination can be unreliable.
See: Speed Layer Basic Installation.
Step 6: Escalate
If the tool is critical and still not working, capture:
- Page URL
- Tool name
- Steps to reproduce
- Console errors and screenshots
Then contact support.
