Warnings & Errors
utm_campaign dropped at hop 3
The parameter utm_campaign=q3_push was stripped by ad.impressiontag.co and never forwarded to subsequent hops, breaking attribution reporting for this campaign.
hop_index: 3 · domain: ad.impressiontag.co · param: utm_campaign
High latency detected on hop 3
ad.impressiontag.co responded in 264ms, 89% slower than the chain average of 140ms. This may impact conversion tracking windows.
hop_index: 3 · latency: 264ms · threshold: 140ms
utm_content value reformatted
Underscore replaced with hyphen (creative_02 → creative-02) by the merchant gateway. Non-breaking, but may affect exact-match reporting filters.
