How can I remove unnecessary Google tags from my ecommerce site?

Topic summary

Main issue: A Shopify store loads three Google tag scripts per PageSpeed Insights. The site owner recognizes the first as GA4 and the last as an old “AW” (likely Google Ads/AdWords) tag they want to remove, and asks what the middle tag is and how to remove both non‑needed tags.

Key input: A responder suggests the extra tag(s) may come from a third‑party app injecting Google Tag Manager (GTM), which cannot be removed directly from the site theme if sourced externally. If a GTM container was added by the store, they can manage/removal once the specific script is identified.

Current status and next steps: The site owner will investigate the source of the middle tag/script (which app or GTM container is adding it). No removal executed yet; resolution pending identification of the tag origin. Discussion remains open.

Hello @plfunkymusic ,

I can see there is a three Google tag scripts loading on the site. but that may be a third-party app’s Google tag manager script. so we can’t handle it from our side.

If you have added a Google tag manager script so we can handle it. so just let me know which script we have added.
