Debugging GA4 like a pro: DebugView, Preview and the Network tab

A repeatable 5-step checklist to find out why an event is missing — before your client notices.

When an event is missing there are only a handful of places it can get lost.

Start in GTM Preview

Did the tag fire? If not, inspect the trigger conditions on that exact event.

Then the Network tab

Filter by “collect” and read the en parameter of the request.

Finally DebugView

If the hit left the browser but is not in DebugView, check filters and consent state.
