- Description: Audit what loads for visitors in each region, from consent banners to tag firing, without leaving your desk.

Your site does not behave the same in every market. Consent banners differ, tag managers load different containers, ad networks serve different creatives, and a misconfigured rule can silently stop analytics for an entire country. The only way to know is to load the site as a visitor from there.

## Load the page from the market

Run a headless browser through a residential IP in the target country and record everything: the rendered page, the network log and the console. Playwright’s tracing does this in one call. Repeat for each market you sell in.

## What to check

- **Consent.** Does the banner appear where regulation requires it, and do tags stay quiet until consent is given?
- **Tags.** Does your analytics request fire, with the right property and the right country in its payload?
- **Ads.** Are the placements you paid for actually served, and in the right language and currency?
- **Performance.** Is a third-party script that is fast at home slow or blocked somewhere else?

## Make it a job, not a task

Schedule the run daily and diff the network log against yesterday’s. New third-party hosts, missing tags and changed ad domains show up as a short list instead of a long investigation. Keep a few residential IPs per market reserved for this so the checks never compete with other work for the same exits.
