How to test Link pixels

Check the setup first

• Confirm the pixel is saved and assigned to the Link you are testing.
• Confirm the Link is active.
• Open the public LinkStack URL rather than the final destination.
• Test outside the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland because LinkStack blocks pixel delivery there.
• Temporarily disable browser extensions or privacy modes that block third-party advertising scripts.

Test a public Link

1. Open the provider's event testing or diagnostics view.
2. Open the assigned Link in a fresh browser tab.
3. Let the redirect finish.
4. Look for the provider's standard visit signal.
5. Repeat once on the device or social placement you plan to use for the campaign.
6. Wait for normal provider reporting delay before treating the test as failed.

Visit signal versus conversion

• Meta and TikTok receive a page-view style signal.
• Google Analytics receives a page_view configuration.
• Google Ads receives the base tag for audience building.
• Other providers receive their standard base visit signal.
• Purchases, leads, signups, revenue, and product actions require tracking on the destination site.

If the visit does not appear

• Recheck the provider and ID format.
• Confirm the saved pixel is assigned to this exact Link.
• Try a normal browser with blocking extensions off.
• Check whether the test IP is in a restricted region.
• Remove duplicate configurations before testing again.
