How can you check if a website uses Microsoft Clarity?

Checking if a website uses Microsoft Clarity involves looking for specific markers in the page source and utilizing some additional methods.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Open the Page Source: Right-click on the webpage and select “View Page Source” or press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to open the page source code.
2. Search for Clarity Tags: Use the search function by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) and look for the following keywords:
   • clarity.ms/tag: This keyword indicates that the website is utilizing Microsoft Clarity’s tracking.
   • clarity: General references to Clarity scripts, such as <script src="https://www.clarity.ms/tag/your-project-id"></script>
3. Check for Clarity-Specific JavaScript Variables: Look for JavaScript variables that are unique to Clarity. Search for:
   • window.clarity: This variable is often used in Clarity’s tracking scripts.
4. Inspect Network Requests: Open the browser’s Developer Tools (F12 or right-click and select “Inspect”) and navigate to the Network tab. Refresh the page and filter for terms like “clarity” or “ms” to see if any Clarity-related requests are made during the page load.
5. Look for Clarity Cookies: Still in the Developer Tools, check the Application tab for any cookies set by Clarity. Look for cookies such as _clck or _clsk, which indicate Clarity’s presence.
