The free Cookie Rocks Audit installs next to Usercentrics and shows what it leaves to you.
We could have compared plans and prices. We would rather audit it.
Using Usercentrics with the free Cookie Rocks Audit
The Cookie Rocks Audit is our free plugin. It installs next to the cookie plugin you already have, adds nothing to your visitors’ pages and changes none of your settings.
- Install the Audit from the download page, then open the Cookie Rocks menu. Installation
- Answer the four questions about your site and your countries: the Audit then knows which rules Usercentrics has to meet. Obligations
- Scan your pages as a new visitor would: what loads before any choice, the cookies and the browser storage it finds, the scripts it does not know yet. Your cookies
- Read the findings on the Overview, the Google and the Consent pages, each with what to change. Consent
What the Audit checks, on any banner
- What loads before the visitor chooses, tracker by tracker
- The cookies and the browser storage your pages set, including scripts it does not recognise
- Google tags, Consent Mode signals and the WP Consent API
- Choice duration, against your countries’ rules
- Your privacy policy and cookie policy, point by point
- Global Privacy Control, where your countries ask for it
If something needs fixing, Cookie Rocks Pro can take over the banner and set it right, country by country.
Keep Usercentrics while you look: the Audit only reads it. When you switch to Cookie Rocks Pro, deactivate it; the Overview tells you if another consent plugin is still active.
Weighed where it runs
Usercentrics loads its banner from its own servers, so we weighed it where it really runs: on 25 public websites, banner files only.
| Cookie Rocks Pro | Usercentrics | |
|---|---|---|
| First visit, banner filesFor the hosted banner: the median of the sites, compressed | 9.12 kB | 121.99 kB |
| From the lightest site to the heaviest | 81.88 kB – 374.35 kB |
Cookie Rocks Pro: measured on our plain WordPress test site, every file it adds. The hosted banner: its first scripts and frames only, so a lower bound; what it loads next is not counted. Close methods, not identical. Measured on 1 November 2026. How we measure
What these numbers leave out
- The banner files come from the vendor’s servers, not from your site, so a first visit calls an outside server.
- The figure depends on each site’s setup of the banner: languages, listed services, design.

- The cookies of 675 tools, known by name and blocked until consent; the scan finds the others on your pages too.
