How to See Window Datalayer?

Published in Web Development 1 min read

To view the window.datalayer (or data layer) in your browser, follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the Browser Console: The first step involves accessing the developer console in your web browser.

    • Right-click anywhere on the webpage you want to inspect.
    • Select "Inspect" (or "Inspect Element") from the context menu. This action opens the browser's developer tools. (Reference: 21-Apr-2023)

    Here's a table summarizing the process:

    Step Action
    1 Right-click on the webpage
    2 Select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element"
  2. Navigate to the Console Tab: In the developer tools panel, locate and click on the "Console" tab.

  3. Access the Data Layer: Once in the console, you can access the data layer by typing window.dataLayer and pressing Enter. This will display the contents of the data layer in the console.

    • For example, typing console.log(window.dataLayer) and pressing Enter can make it easier to read the content.

By following these steps, you can effectively inspect the window.dataLayer to understand the data being tracked on the website.
