List all the services present on your website

Services, cookies, vendors... It's good to know who you're dealing with!

Written by Alexandre Dias Da Silva

The first step is to take inventory of the services and trackers present on your site. To do this, several complementary methods can be used — and it is important to cross-reference the information to ensure nothing is missed.

A good starting point: Shake, Axeptio's scanner

At Axeptio, we have developed Shake, an automated audit tool that scans a sample of pages on your site and generates a PDF report listing the detected services. It's an excellent starting point to quickly identify the most visible trackers!

⚠ Be aware however: Shake is not intended to be exhaustive. It analyzes several dozen pages of the site, which means that:

  • certain services loaded only on specific pages may slip through the cracks,

  • and you will need to manually complete the analysis with other methods.

Other recommended verification methods

To refine and complete the detection, here are some complementary practices:

  • Use a browser extension: There are extensions capable of analyzing the services detected on a page (for Chrome, you can try Wappalyzer). They can be useful, but remain third-party tools that we do not control, and their reliability can vary.

  • Inspect directly via developer tools:

    By opening your browser's developer tools (Network and Application tabs), you can:

    • identify third-party scripts that load on your pages,

    • identify cookies deposited,

    • and detect suspicious network requests (such as calls to tracking platforms).

This makes it possible in particular to identify non-visible trackers in cookies, such as pixels, pings, or certain forms of collection without local storage.
