How to Verify and Debug Your Hardal Setup

After installing Hardal on your website, it's important to verify that everything is working correctly. This guide shows you how to check your setup and troubleshoot issues.

Method 1: Check Using Browser DevTools

The fastest way to verify Hardal is working is through your browser's Developer Tools.

Step 1: Open Your Website

Navigate to the website where you installed Hardal in your web browser.

Step 2: Open Developer Tools

Open your browser's Developer Tools:

• Windows/Linux: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I
• Mac: Press Cmd + Option + I
• Right-click: Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect"

Step 3: Go to Network Tab

Click on the Network tab in DevTools. This tab shows all network requests made by your webpage.

Step 4: Refresh the Page

Refresh your webpage to capture network requests from the page load:

• Press F5 or Ctrl + R (Windows/Linux)
• Press Cmd + R (Mac)
• Click the refresh button in your browser

Step 5: Search for Hardal

In the Network tab's filter box, type "hardal" to filter requests.

Step 6: Verify Requests

You should see:

• hardal: The main tracking script
• Request to Hardal API: Event tracking requests

Look for:

• Status Code: 200 (success) or 204 (success, no content)
• Type: Script and XHR/Fetch
• Size: Should show actual data being transferred

If you see these requests with successful status codes, your installation is working correctly.

Method 2: Check Hardal Dashboard

The second verification method is to check if events are appearing in your Hardal dashboard.

Step 7: Navigate to Events Page

Go to your Hardal dashboard:

1. Select your signal
2. Click Analytics in the left menu
3. Select Events

Step 8: Check for Recent Events

The Events page displays real-time data from your website. You should see:

• Recent page views
• Event timestamps
• User information (browser, device, location)
• URL paths

Step 9: Verify Event Data

Check that events contain correct information:

• URLs match your website pages
• Timestamps are current
• User data is being captured (browser, OS, etc.)

Your Hardal analytics should now be verified as working correctly. Regular monitoring ensures ongoing data accuracy and reliability.
