Additional information

You can add additional platforms to Beetle Tracking at any time. To do this, simply follow the same steps outlined in the final configuration process for each new platform you wish to integrate.

Important: Whenever you make changes in your Beetle Tracking plugin, be sure to click “Push Settings to Cloudflare” to ensure your updates take effect and are synchronized with Cloudflare.

Tip: Verifying tracking script integration

Please note that tracking script integrations for all platforms, including Meta, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and others, cannot be reliably verified using default browser widgets or testing tools.

This is because the scripts are loaded asynchronously through Cloudflare, making them invisible to traditional browser-based verification methods.
