Troubleshooting Meta Pixel on your site

Learn how to verify, diagnose, and fix common Meta Pixel issues on your Framer site.

Check Meta Pixel installation with the Pixel Helper extension

Use Meta’s Pixel Helper browser extension to verify that your pixel is firing correctly.

Install the extension, open your Framer site, and run the diagnostics. The tool scans your page, flags configuration issues, and provides guidance on how to fix them. Review any warnings or errors it reports before moving on. You can learn more here.

Verify your domain connection

The Meta Pixel requires a connected domain to collect data. Make sure your Framer project’s domain is properly connected and active. Open your project’s domain settings and resolve any connection issues you see. An unverified or misconfigured domain can prevent events from being tracked.

Confirm correct pixel placement

Make sure the Meta Pixel code is placed in the correct location:

  • Paste the pixel code only in the <head> section of your site’s settings in Framer.

  • Do not place the code in other custom code areas, as this can break tracking or cause duplicate events.

Double-check that the code appears only once.

Disable ad blockers during testing

Ad blockers and privacy extensions can prevent the Meta Pixel from loading. When testing, temporarily disable any ad blockers, refresh the page, and check whether events begin firing correctly. If they do, the blocker is likely the cause.

Allow time for data to appear

Meta analytics do not update instantly. Event data can take up to 30 minutes to appear in Meta’s reporting tools. After making changes, wait before rechecking your analytics to confirm whether tracking is working.
