Question for those with experience using the Scrapebox page scanner!

Hi Guys,

Im currently using scrapebox to scan a load of source code on various websites. In doing so i'm trying to filter websites do and dont have google tags installed. Analytics, GTM, Google ads etc..

80% are being picked up fine. But the other 20% for whatever just wont get recognised. Upon closer inspection i've noticed that when 'inspecting' the page i can search for Google and it picks them up (also visible in the sources tab), but when viewing the actual page source (HTML) i cant find any trace of anything to do with Google / tracking codes.

My understanding is that scrapebox just reads the HTML so if it doesn't appear there then it cant be identified ? Is there anyway round this so it reads whats in the the other sources ?

Apologies for any naivety on my part - not a big techy!

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There are couple of possibilities why Scrapebox can't find your footprints/masks. Firstly, if the data you're after is written by javascript executed on the page, then Scrapebox won't be able to see it, as it does not execute javascript. Secondly, the page you're looking at may recognise whatever proxy you're using as a proxy server, and may have some sort of blocking in place, giving you an error page or just a 403. You might want to check your proxies aren't getting blocked.
