Using WASP to debug

“

- In the previous video we saw how you can utilize the built in tag manager tools. But as you may have seen in some of the videos thus far, most of the time I actually prefer to use a more general tool called WASP, which is short for Web Analytics Solution Profiler to visualize what's happening with my site, my tags, and the data layer. In some ways it's going to show similar info to the Preview mode, except it can get a bit deeper integration with the tags themselves. It also has the advantage that you don't have to enable the Preview Debug mode in the console, but it will work while the container is in Debug mode. Now, keep in mind WASP is going to represent exactly what your browser sees and what's delivered by Tag Manager. It can't go in and select which version you want to see, like preview can. Now, if you don't already have WASP, you can grab it for free from the Chrome Store. Just do a Google search here on Chrome…
