I could never find a quick and easy (free) tool to check the sites I was working on for missing Google Analytics code, so I ended putting together GAChecker.com. Just put in your domain and let the tool do the rest. It will crawl your entire site, and afterwards you can view the results in a table or export your results to a CSV for easy analysis. If you’re interested, you can check your site’s Google Analytics code here.
Here’s a snapshot of the tool:
There are tools that do basically the same thing (like Screaming Frog), but there’s none that I know of that are free. There’s currently a 5000 URL limit; if you need to crawl more just get in touch. I’d also like to give a shout out to Shashank Singla for helping set up a lot of the trickier Python and Ubuntu stuff.
This page truly has all of the information I wanted about this subject and
didn’t know who to ask.
What’s up, yes this article is genuinely pleasant and I have learned lot of things from it about blogging.
thanks.

Been struggling for a while to figure out how GA is receiving stats and yet I have not installed any UA code anywhere (Old wordpress site, upgraded to new theme.)
Hopefully your crawler can find it.
Hi LP, nothing stops anyone from entering your GA code on other webpages … check your Google Analytics Audience, Technology, Network, Hostname … this crawler will check our pages for code, not other pages on the internet.
https://blog.kissmetrics.com/protect-analytics-from-hacking/ explains this very well and tells you how to filter out erroneous traffic
Thanks Randall, good link and I totally agree – I’d recommend always putting this filter on your main GA view (barring roll-up views, multi-sites etc.).
Does this tool still work? I’ve been unable to get it to run.
Hey Ally,
I’ve actually sold it since I posted this. It was working when I sold it, but I haven’t used it in awhile to be honest. Let me know if you’re still having problems, there are other options to check for GA tags.
