Utility to Check for Munchkin Tracking Code Working Correctly

What do you guys think about a utility to ensure that munchkin is installed and is correctly monitoring a web page?

Maybe a section on the Munchkin page of the Admin section where you could enter a URL and press test and it would verify that Munchkin will work on that page?

Hey Jared-
Can't you merely navigate to the page & then refresh your activity log? If the page is on your activity log, then the code is working! I don't know a new feature needs to be created for this as you can really do it already.

While this can be done manually, I can see a feature like this being useful to a couple of groups:

  +Small companies or agencies that outsource their websites
  +Large companies or agencies with many websites (being added or updated)

Perhaps the feature is more about ensuring that the code is not only installed and working, but working correctly. It might even provide a couple of things that can be improved (Example: "Your site is running slow, try the Async code!", "Use the Asycne code for jQuery since it is already installed.", or "Install your code in this location for optimal performance.")

While many of us are designers or developers, I thought this might be a good tool for marketers with more traditional skillsets.

Or, maybe it is too rudimentary for a full feature?

I buy it with the additional features.

I've found that the best way to handle double-checking pages for Munchkin tracking code, especially with more complex tag managers (Tealium, GTM, etc.) is to install Ghostery. Although it bills itself as a privacy tool, it's especially effective for seeing everything that's firing on any given page.
