Load GPT from recommended host

  • Loading the Google Publisher Tag (GPT) library from the recommended host (securepubads.g.doubleclick.net) improves page load performance by reducing the number of connections the browser needs to open.

  • This audit ensures GPT is loaded from the optimal source to streamline ad serving requests and enhance overall website speed.

  • Using the recommended host for GPT minimizes delays associated with opening new connections for each referenced host.

Overview

This audit ensures that the Google Publisher Tag (GPT) library is being loaded from the recommended host. The browser must open a connection to each new host your page references, which can take significant time. By loading GPT from the recommended host you ensure that all ad serving requests are made to a single domain, reducing the number of connections to open and improving page load performance.

Recommendations

Ensure that GPT is being loaded from securepubads.g.doubleclick.net. For example:

<script async src="https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/tag/js/gpt.js"></script>
