As the first and most advanced tag management system in the industry, TagMan knows firsthand how complex tagging has become over the years. Which is why we’re thrilled to unveil our infographic on the history of tags, which offers a tag and Internet timeline to illustrate how tags have evolved since 1993, when search engine bots began indexing entire web pages to enable effective searching. As time has gone on, the Internet has grown leaps and bounds, becoming increasingly complex, which has inevitably increased the number of tags that companies have running on their websites.

A company’s tags are crucial to driving traffic and understanding customers, but they can often bog down the experience for users. But with smart, effective tag management, companies don’t have to feel lost in a sea of tags. TagMan’s Smart Tag Loading provides advanced tag loading techniques that speed up third party tags and overall page loading times.

We’re likely to see even more complexity within tagging in the years to come, but if companies can leverage the tools and technologies available to them, they can better manage their tags and keep their websites chugging along.
