What is Headerbid Expert?
Headerbid Expert is a powerful Chrome extension that helps publishers gain insights into the performance of their webpage's header bidding partners. It offers detailed information on latency from each partner, whether they load simultaneously or block pages, and if they are loaded in parallel. By using this data, publishers can avoid potential impression loss and under monetization. It's the ideal tool for improving your webpage's speed and revenue generation.

  2. Do they load asynchronously or are they blocking my pages?
  3. Are they all loaded together in parallel?

If not, your page might be under monetized or be suffering from potential impression loss! Use this tool to find out!

Not well maintained. New prebid server endpoint missing, Amazon UAM header bidder not recognized.
