Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I audit tracker versions?▾
Outdated tracking scripts can contain known vulnerabilities, unpatched privacy bugs, and deprecated data collection methods. The Polyfill.io supply chain attack in 2024 affected 100,000+ websites, demonstrating that unmaintained third-party scripts are a critical security risk.
What was the Polyfill.io attack?▾
In June 2024, the polyfill.io domain was acquired by a Chinese entity that modified the hosted scripts to inject malware and redirect users to scam sites. Over 100,000 websites were affected. Google blocked ads on affected sites. Cloudflare and Fastly created safe mirrors as alternatives.
What does "self-hosted" mean for trackers?▾
A self-hosted tracker is a copy of a tracking script stored on your own server instead of loading it from the vendor's CDN. While this improves loading speed and avoids third-party requests, self-hosted scripts must be manually updated and can become stale or vulnerable.
How old is too old for a tracking script?▾
Scripts older than 90 days may miss important security patches. Scripts older than 180 days are likely significantly outdated. For self-hosted scripts, we recommend updating at least monthly to ensure you have the latest security fixes.
What are the privacy implications of tracker incidents?▾
Tracker incidents can result in unauthorized data collection, data breaches, regulatory fines, and loss of user trust. For example, Meta Pixel was found sending health data to Facebook from hospital websites, and FullStory was found recording passwords on misconfigured sites.
How does this tool detect trackers?▾
We analyze your page HTML for 8 major tracking libraries using pattern matching. For self-hosted scripts, we check HTTP headers to determine the script age. We cross-reference each tracker against a database of known security and privacy incidents.
