How to check that your pixel is working

Installed the pixel but not sure it is active? Here are a few quick ways to confirm Proofly is loading and collecting data on your site.


1. Look for a live notification

The simplest test: create a notification set to show on all pages, then open your website in an incognito window. If it appears, the pixel is working.


2. Check the page source

View the page source (right-click → View page source) and search for "proofly". You should see the pixel snippet inside the <head>. If it is missing, the code was not added or your cache is serving an old version.


3. Use your browser's developer tools

Open developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab and reload the page. Filter for "pixel" — you should see a request to Proofly returning successfully.


Common installation mistakes

The code was pasted in the body instead of before </head>
A caching plugin or CDN is serving an old page — clear the cache
The site runs on a subdomain but Include subdomains is off
The pixel was added to only one page instead of site-wide
