Shopify

6.4%

14 of 219 observed stores had a tag loading and staying silent on at least one page type.

WooCommerce

11.3%

25 of 222 observed stores had a tag loading and staying silent on at least one page type.

Fifty-nine stores were excluded because we could not observe them: 38 served a challenge page, 14 had a consent banner we could not resolve, 7 timed out. Excluding them raises the headline rate. Including them would be wrong.
