✔ Visual Overlays: Non-intrusive Shadow DOM overlays inject directly over ad slots, showing you Line Item IDs, Creative IDs, and sizes instantly—without breaking the page layout.

✔ SRA & Request Analysis: Automatically detects and groups Single Request Architecture (SRA) calls vs. individual slot requests. 
✔ Advanced ID Detection: Instantly surfaces the Query ID (Display) and Ad Event ID (Video) to trace the ad source.
