Oops thanks for the heads up, I should have read that section before asking.

I’ll definitively try the method of comparing similar posts to locate similar lines and add JS and CSS exclusions. Thanks for that blog entry.

One thing I noticed is that, around 300Mb, the cache stabilizes and doesn’t grow more, the server keeps the physical memory usage at 70% and in the yellow. How could I measure if, at that level of memory usage, visitors to my site might be experiencing performance issues? A speed test in GTMetrix or Webpagetest could give me information about my webpage navigation or performance slowing down?

Thanks a lot for your answer @nomiddleman

gtm4wp.orderCompleted: this is an obsolete event

Ok, I deleted a tag that used this event “Purchase Completed”.

eCommerce>Product List Performance should also include a list named “General product list” – don’t you see any such product list in this report

I don’t have this list anymore since I made the change to GTM and your plugin setting your messenger/helper tag. Before I had this list; when I had a plugin by Woocommerce that integrated their store with GA.

Here are the results of webpagetest. Some runs load in 7-10s (same as before) and others 50s (pure madness). The waterfall shows that the images from cdn.shortpixel.ai take the most to load.

Funnily enough the scores have improved quite a bit so maybe it’s something temporary. How was the experience for other users who have used SP CDN?

Many thanks for your support and the great work you’re doing. Have a great day.

Why do you want to add product data in your event reports if the data is present in your ecommerce reports?

Hi, for several reasons:

• Because I’m new at learning GA and GTM implementation and I really don’t know how the helper tag will pass data to GA eCommerce report, please from now on, if I make an erroneous assumption or mistake correct me. For example, in “eCommerce>Product Performance” there’s no data yet after publishing your helper tag in GTM. This led me to believe there’s an additional step in the configuration of GTM. Strangely enough there’s data in “eCommerce>Product List Performance”, a list of my related and upsell products but no product list in “Product Performance”.
• Because, in your guide, there’s the next paragraph:
  

  Note: this tag is going to be a ‘messenger’. The goal of this tag is not to populate Event reports with useful data but to pass additional enhanced ecommerce product data next to your event settings while users interact with your shop.

  That, again, led me to believe there’s additional configuration step in GTM (“populate Event reports with useful data“) to make everything work as intended in GA.

• Your helper tag will pass the EEC events to GA so I imagine that in “Behavior>Top Events” all eCommerce events will trigger with an action field like: gtm4wp.AddProductToCartEEC If I can setup separate tags with dataLayer variables so this event displays like Action: "Click AddToCart" Label: "Name:T-Shirt, Quantity:1, Variation:Blue,XL" it won’t be that much more work, it will pass data a bit more readable and with more data. Yesterday while waiting for your answer, aside configuring your helper tag, I’ve setup separate tags for:

1. EEC Checkout Initiated -> gtm4wp.checkoutOptionEEC
2. EEC Click AddToCart -> gtm4wp.AddToCartEEC
3. EEC Click RemoveFromCart -> gtm4wp.RemoveFromCartEEC
4. EEC Click Product -> gtm4wp.productClickEEC
5. EEC Purchase -> gtm4wp.orderCompleted (Tracking Type: Transaction)

I know it can duplicate events and eCommerce data but, in the meantime, I wanted to test if the tags will display data as I imagined. By the way, why your helper tag does not need the gtm4wp.orderCompleted event? Is gtm4wp.checkoutOptionEEC its equivalent for Enhanced eCommerce?

It’s hard to learn GTM and GA correctly, there are many guides online for configuring separate steps but few join the puzzle pieces together so novices have a correct view of the whole picture and how it will look in the GA reports. Reading other guides apart from yours on GTM and GA I have the sensation that many skip the most technical steps hiding the fact that the writer doesn’t even know how to configure things correctly, giving the impression as if they limited only to do a copy-paste from other websites. It doesn’t help either that Google’s own guides aren’t very good at explaining their own tools.

UPDATE: @optimizingmatters After updating both CF7 and AO I tried to remove reCaptcha v3 integration with CF7 again. This time, after deleting all caches, the CF7 integration keys and the links to Google Privacy Policy from all my forms their functionality is restored. I will keep checking in the next days to see if it’s completely restored.

@buzztone suggestion of issues of your plugins with reCaptcha v3 were in the right direction but this time it has been an incompatibility with Async not AO. Glad the issue has solved itself because Deferring JS with Async halves my website load times from 7.1 to 3.3 seconds.
