Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (the Worker instrumentation could not record every request, so the request evidence is incomplete). Counts for the affected evidence are lower bounds; families that completed carry only their ordinary limits. The evidence receipt states the exact per-visit quality.
Scan report ready for wordpress.org: 50 recorded request rows.
The selected visit did not finish collecting request evidence. Request counts are lower bounds; Run quality records the reason.

What this actually means
wordpress.org's retained request log includes catalogued Google domains.
Retained request rows include 1 distinct catalogued tracking-service entity; 1 of the retained service matches recorded responses across at least 6 retained cross-site domains. A catalog match identifies the service domain, not why the request occurred or what it carried. It also looks like 1 browser-fingerprinting heuristic matched.
The scan observed signals a non-expert should not have to decode from raw request tables. Some activity evidence was also incomplete: request counts are retained lower bounds.
The cards below translate the evidence into plain language; severity reflects fixed reference thresholds, not measured population percentiles. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.
at least 50 retained requests observed in one controlled visit.
Context
at least 7 retained requests matched Brave Shields filter lists
at least 7 retained requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser, while loading normally.
Computed with Brave's own ad-block engine and default filter lists in classification mode: matched requests were not blocked by the scanner and remain in this report's observed request counts. Matching shows what Shields would target on this visit's traffic; an actual Shields visit blocks these and also prevents their follow-on requests, so this number is neither a measured block count nor the total effect.
The hand-curated service catalog separately matched at least 5 retained request rows in this visit.Show matched requests
Context
This Shields comparison is not conclusive
The "No blocking" visit reported GPC Worker capture loss, so its request evidence is incomplete. and The "Brave-list blocking" visit reported GPC Worker capture loss, so its request evidence is incomplete.
The raw request logs of both visits remain below for transparency, but the diff between them supports no claim about what the compared condition changed.
Privacy policy read; it made no statement this scan can check
None of the statements this scan knows how to check appear in the policy text, so nothing was compared against this visit's evidence (1 of 1 observed tracking company named in the policy). That is a limit of the automated check, not a finding about the site either way.
Statements checked automatically: blanket no-cookie claims, third-party-cookie claims, and combined do-not-sell-or-share claims against advertising-pixel identifier fields. Global Privacy Control claims are never checked against request counts, which cannot show whether selling or sharing stopped. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.
Policy at https://wordpress.org/about/privacy; 0 checkable statements matched; 1 of 1 observed tracking company named in the policy.
Context
Catalogued service domains recorded responses during this visit
Google appeared in the request log.
A catalog match identifies a maintainer-reviewed service/domain mapping; it does not establish why an individual request occurred, what it carried, or whether profiling happened. Functional catalog labels include analytics / tag management and advertising. This scan could not identify 3 of the 6 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site.
at least 21 retained cross-site requests across at least 6 retained third-party hosts.Show third-party requests
Context
Requests were dispatched to catalogued major-platform domains
This visit dispatched requests to catalogued domains for Google.
The domain matches identify services, not the requests' purpose, payload, or whether any profile linking occurred.
Incomplete evidence: Google Analytics present, no remarketing signal in retained evidence before collection stopped
Google Analytics was observed, but no DoubleClick remarketing sync appeared in this visit.
Standard analytics collection was observed, without the stats.g.doubleclick.net advertising sync. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.
These heuristics look for behavior patterns such as canvas readback after drawing, repeated canvas font measurement, WebGL entropy reads, offline audio rendering, or WebRTC peer-connection setup. They are review prompts for this visit, not proof of cross-site identity tracking.
1 canvas matched; reads: canvas.getImageData
Brave Shields Comparison
No blocking and Brave-list blocking: two visits, no comparable metric delta
No blocking: 2,291msBrave-list blocking: 2,417ms
These two visits do not support a side-by-side comparison, so no deltas are shown.
The "No blocking" visit reported GPC Worker capture loss, so its request evidence is incomplete.
The "Brave-list blocking" visit reported GPC Worker capture loss, so its request evidence is incomplete.
Each visit's own evidence still stands: use the “Evidence shown” switcher below to inspect either visit's tables, and both visits are in the downloaded JSON.
Measurement limits
7 conditions affect how this evidence reads
This report
Brave-list blocking comparison runs should be collected under matched crawl conditions, and the blocking run is a simulation with Brave's engine and default lists in this scanner's browser, not a live Brave visit. Differences can still reflect timing, experiments, cache state, consent state, or bot detection.
The two visits ran in randomized order; the "Brave-list blocking" visit ran first.
Both visits
Each visit in this report is one automated, headless Chromium visit from a fixed en-US / UTC profile, with no scrolling, clicking, or consent interaction. Sites can behave differently for real users, browsers, regions, accounts, or network locations.
Counts are a lower bound: trackers that load only after interaction or consent are not observed; Service Workers are blocked, and Web Worker or WebSocket traffic may be incomplete. Service labels use a US-biased hand-curated catalog, so regional services may be under-labeled. Cookie and storage figures are an end-of-visit snapshot, with storage keys read from the top frame only.
Read the site's privacy policy (https://wordpress.org/about/privacy) and compared its text against this visit's observed behavior. Policy checks are an automated text match with the matched sentences quoted, not a legal reading.
The scan blocked or could not verify one or more Web Workers while applying the simulated GPC signal; request evidence may be incomplete.
Brave-list blocking visit only
Brave Shields block simulation was enabled; matching requests were aborted before loading and are not included in request totals.
How to use this report
Read the findings and measurement limits first, then inspect the evidence for each recorded visit. Comparisons include both visits, even where a difference cannot be interpreted.
Keep this PDF with its evidence package: the source JSON, correction context, export receipt and SHA256SUMS. The package preserves source bytes and the correction context at export time. Hashes check file consistency; they do not establish independent measurement accuracy or a signed attestation.
2026-07-25T18:19:14.718Z · cut short: the Worker instrumentation could not record every request, so the request evidence is incomplete; derived from status and warnings
Retained observations from this visit. Missing measurements do not establish absence of activity.
Request attribution map
Which actor each third-party request is attributed to, from the initiator the browser reported. Attribution, not causation: an initiator may itself have been told what to fetch, and requests with no reported initiator are not distinguished from ones fetched from several. Asterisks mark subdomain labels hidden for privacy.
Attributed requests
Incomplete
Not attributable
≥21
Third-party requests
≥21
No unique actor could be assigned to ≥21 of these requests. That includes requests for which the browser reported no usable initiator, and repeated URLs seen with conflicting initiators. This report does not distinguish those causes, so they are counted together rather than drawn.
The retained rows establish no useful floor for requests with one recorded actor. Request capture was incomplete, so every count is a lower bound and no coverage percentage is reported.
No retained third-party request has one recorded actor to draw. This is not evidence that no actor was involved: the visit may have reported no actor or several actors for the same request.

Exact build and instrument digests were not recorded by this legacy schema.
Recorded provenance is self-reported measurement metadata, not a cryptographic attestation. The public versioned report JSON contains the retained public evidence; see the methodology for interpretation and retention limits.
This report covers what the scanner measures, not everything a site can do. 16 browser surfaces are not instrumented at all (Every page except the one that was scanned; Anything that only loads after scrolling or interaction; Why a request happened, as a causal chain; and 13 others), 3 capabilities are declined by policy, and 3 are outside what any single visit can see. Their absence from this report is not evidence that they did not occur. Read the published coverage boundary.
Detector accuracy is unmeasured. No calibration study currently publishes a precision or recall for the detectors on this page, so a detector match here is a recorded observation, not a calibrated classification. How detector accuracy is measured.
Approved use boundary: This report is investigative evidence that requires independent corroboration. It is not a standalone legal determination and not the sole exhibit in a legal proceeding. Recorded in this project's release manifest on .
Reports record one automated visit per condition; visits may be incomplete. Results describe these visits, not everything a site can do.
