Everything an ad-ops engineer needs

Built by publishers, for publishers. Every feature solves a real debugging headache.

📊

Live Prebid + GAM Inspector

Real-time view of pbjs.adUnits, googletag.pubads(), bid responses, win rates, and CPMs. Detects pbjs across non-default namespaces (Freestar, Magnite, Mediavine).

🎬

Video Header Bidding

Inspect IAB OpenRTB video objects: protocols, MIMEs, placement, plcmt, skip, startdelay. Visualize WeForAds VHB state machine for video auctions.

📈

Sparkline CPM History

Per-ad-unit CPM trend lines update live. Spot which units are trending up or dying.

🤖

Smart Issue Detector

12+ rules flag pre-release Prebid builds, low bidder response rates, missing modules, video auction failures, and consent/CMP misconfigurations.

💰

Yield Sensitivity Simulator

"What's your CPM if you remove bidder X?" Marginal contribution analysis surfaces dead-weight bidders.

🆔

Identity Solutions Detector

26 probes: UID2, ID5, IdentityLink, ATS, RampID, SharedID, PubCID, Criteo, Lotame, LiveIntent, Apstag, and more. Critical for post-cookie audits.

🛡

ads.txt Validator

Auto-fetches your domain's /ads.txt and audits which active page bidders have authorization. Surfaces unauthorized sellers that may invalidate bids.

🔐

TCF v2 Consent Decoder

Decodes the IAB consent string from any CMP. Shows CMP ID, vendor list version, purposes consented, and legitimate-interest flags.

🎯

Floor + Timeout Advisor

Heuristic recommendations: optimal floor at 30th-percentile CPM, optimal timeout at P95 latency + buffer. Click to copy the snippet.

🔥

Slot Revenue Heatmap

Toggleable color-coded badges painted directly onto the page's ad slots. Red = no bid, green = $3+ CPM. Visual at a glance.

📸

Snapshot Save / Diff / Share

Save named snapshots, diff CPM and fill-rate changes between configs. One-click shareable URL — privacy-preserving (data stays in URL hash).

📄

PDF Report Export

One-click branded PDF with all stats, issues, bidder performance, and ad-unit breakdown. Email it, attach to support tickets.
