Ad tag tester

Check a video or display tag before it goes live. Paste the tag, press Test, and see every event as it fires. Free to use. Nothing you paste leaves your browser except the requests the tag itself makes.

Try a sample:

Cache-buster macros such as [CACHEBUSTING], [timestamp] and an empty correlator are filled in automatically.

Status: Ready. Paste a tag and press Test tag.

Event log

Events appear here as the ad loads and plays: impression, quartiles, clicks and errors.

    Ad details

    Shown once an ad loads.

    XML check and CTV readiness

    Paste VAST XML, or press Check XML with a tag URL, to see the media files and whether the creative suits CTV, FAST and OTT.

    Good to know

    • A tag that plays here can still fail elsewhere. Ad servers may limit which websites receive ads, and verification vendors can block unknown domains. If you see “empty VAST” or error 1009, the tag may be fine but not targeted at this site.
    • Ad blockers stop tags. Turn yours off for manzinetworks.com while testing.
    • This is a browser test, not a TV test. It confirms the tag, tracking and media files work. Smart TV platforms such as Samsung, LG and FAST channels apply their own checks; the CTV readiness list shows what they usually require.
    • VPAID doesn’t run on CTV. Most TV platforms only accept plain MP4 video. Ask for a non-VPAID version of the tag for CTV, FAST and OTT campaigns.
    • Testing fires real requests. Impressions and clicks during a test may be counted by the ad server.
