# Use browser Extension

I**nstall Extension:**

* Install extension [Tag Explorer](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tag-explorer/obhceflecohdhjjomleeakkogaiclhoo?hl=en)
* Install extension [Google Analytics Debugger](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-analytics-debugger/jnkmfdileelhofjcijamephohjechhna) and turn ON debug mode

**Trigger Events on Your Website:**

Trigger common user actions on your site, such as:

* Navigate between pages (→ triggers `page_view`)
* View a product page (→ `view_item`)
* Click “Add to Cart” (→ `add_to_cart`)
* Begin checkout (→ `begin_checkout`)
* Scroll down a page (→ `scroll`)
* Click a button or banner (→ `click`)
* ....

Each time an event is tracked, the event count in the Tag Explorer extension will update accordingly, as shown in the screenshot.

**Monitor Events:**

To verify whether a specific event is being tracked, use the search bar in the Tag Explorer extension. Type the event name using the `en=` keyword. For example:

* To check for a **page view** event, search for: `en=page_view`&#x20;
* **Search** event, search for: `en=search`
* **Add to cart** event, search for: `en=add_to_cart`
* **Begin checkout** event, search for: `en=begin_checkout`
* **View item** event, search for: `en=view_item`
* **Add payment info** event, search for: `en=add_payment_info`
* **Purchase** event, search for: `en=purchase`

This will help you confirm whether each event has been properly triggered and sent to GA4.

That’s how to check if GA4 is working or not.
