Hi Tealium, Currently the tag bunling option bundles tags that load on all pages with utag.js. While this eliminates some http requests that occur after DOM Ready, it does increase the size of the utag.js file which is loaded before DOM Ready. It therefore negatively impacts performance on the first page where utag.js isn't cashed yet. What I'd rather see is that tags are bundled based on the load rules applied. Say you have 5 tags with a load rule "order confirmation page", these tags could be bundled into one utag.n.js file. Eliminating 4 http requests. Kind regards, Koen. ... View more

For many of our clients performance is key. With the list of tags growing, going server to server could be an excellent solution for maintaining/improving site performance. Tealium has a server to server feature as described in this post: Server-to-Server Configuration Server to server has been replaced by EventStream Connectors.    Before advocating Tealium's server to server feature to our clients I have the following questions:   When should a client consider server-to-server? Are there any success stories / insights that you can share? Are there any additional costs involved? Which tags are supported? (is the list in the community post up-to-date?) Is there a roadmap for server-to-server? What features/functionality do you lose when using server-to-server? Typically pixels use third party cookies for storing a visitor id. This information is not available server side, so an alternative to the third party cookie storage is required, correct? Are extensions supported on a server-to-server tag? For example an extension that sets a â google_conversion_labelâ based on the page_type? How would you test and debug a server-to-server tag? Itâ s a long list of questions, but I think this topic deserves thorough consideration.   Thanks in advance for answering my questions!   Regards, Koen. ... View more

Within the Publish Settings of a profile you have the option "No Load Flag". It is presented as a sort of Kill Switch in case of an emergency (e.g. a scripting error that affects the order process). Can you please elaborate what happens when the No Load Flag is enabled en the profile is published to production? What happens to the utag.js file? What happens to the utag.sync.js file? Many thanks, Koen. ... View more

About half a year ago the reports tab appeared in the Tealium interface. For most accounts/profiles this report is now populated. The numbers, however, don't always make sense. Is there documentation available on how to interpret the reports? What, for instance, does 'success' mean? And how reliable is the data in the report? It would be great if we could state, for instance, that Tag X has been loaded Y times during the last week, which resulted in Z pixel request. ... View more

Hi there, By default, extensions with preloader scope don't get executed when the profile (which they are defined in) is subloaded. Is it possible to have these extensions execute? Also, in the publish settings there is a flag called "This profile can be subloaded". What does this flag do exactly? Kind regards, Koen. ... View more
