UTM Parameter Validator

Stop losing data to 'Direct' traffic. Validate your tracking links to ensure they contain the required tags and proper formatting for Google Analytics.

Why Link Validation Matters

Marketing data is only as good as the links that track it. A single typo in a UTM parameter can cause thousands of clicks to be miscategorized as "Direct" or "Referral" traffic in Google Analytics, effectively making your campaign look like a failure.

This UTM Checker acts as a quality assurance step before you launch. By pasting your final URL here, you can verify that all tags are present, properly formatted, and ready to track revenue accurately.

Prevent Data Loss

Catch syntax errors like missing question marks (?) or ampersands (&) that break tracking completely.

Standardize Format

Ensure all your team's links use lowercase letters to avoid fragmented reporting (e.g., Email vs email).

Debug Redirects

Verify that anchor links (#) are placed after your UTMs, not before, or tracking will fail.

Common UTM Errors to Avoid

  • Case Sensitivity:
    Google Analytics is case-sensitive. Always use lowercase. Our tool flags uppercase letters as a warning.
  • Fragment Ordering:
    If your URL uses an anchor (e.g., `#pricing`), it must come at the very end of the URL.
    Correct: website.com/?utm_source=x#pricing
    Wrong: website.com/#pricing?utm_source=x
  • Missing Source/Medium:
    A campaign name alone isn't enough. Always pair utm_campaign with at least utm_source.
