Site: How to test on the Site Level

Once you have setup your Site, you will want to test the ability to track a click and conversion. The test feature allows a CAKE Client to ensure that the Conversion Pixel has been placed correctly.

The "Test" button is located on the Home Tab of every Site Card. 

Before testing, you will want to verify that your pixel has been placed the page &/or server side where the conversion takes place.  Once verified, click the "Test button" - a new tab will open within your browser with testing instructions for the Site.

When you click the Test button from the Site Card, you will be redirected to a new page that will have Testing Instructions.

This Test Page allows a user to:


- Clear Cookies from a previous Test Session using the Clear button (will only clear cookies associated with the URL in the test link)

- Turn Test Mode “On”  -  Test Mode flags Clicks and Conversions as “Tests” so that Reporting and EPCs are not effected by test data.

- Testing Link - This is the unique link you can click on to test the Site.  

Once you have clicked the test link and converted on the Site, click the "See The Results" button.
