# The widget isn't showing on my website. What's wrong?

Open browser devtools (F12) on the host page and look at the **Console** tab. 9 of 10 missing-widget cases are 1 of 3 things. Wrong paste spot, a site CSP that blocks the script, or an HTTP page instead of HTTPS.

## What "missing" usually means

The widget renders by injecting a small button into the host page right before `</body>`. If the script never loads, never executes, or executes but cannot mount the button, you see nothing. The script itself is under 40KB and load time is around 80ms on a fast connection.

Think of it like a doorbell. The wires are there, but if the breaker is off, no chime.

## How to diagnose in 60 seconds

Run these 4 checks in order:

1. **View source on the page** and confirm the `<script async src="https://widget.lemaudit.com/v1/agency_...js"></script>` line is present, just before `</body>`. If it sits inside `<head>` or in a comment, it will not run. See [install steps](/help/getting-started/how-do-i-install-the-audit-widget-on-my-website).
2. **Hard refresh** with Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). 1 in 4 reports turn out to be a stale cache.
3. **Check the Console for "Refused to load"** messages. If your site has a Content-Security-Policy header, add `widget.lemaudit.com` to `script-src`.
4. **Confirm the page URL starts with https://**. The widget refuses to mount on HTTP origins because lead emails would travel in plaintext.

If those pass and the button is still invisible, a competing script may be hiding it with CSS. Search the page for `#lemaudit-widget` to confirm the element exists in the DOM.

## Worked example

A WordPress agency installed the script via Elementor's "Custom Code → Footer". The widget did not show. Devtools revealed the script was wrapped in an `<!-- HTML comment -->` because the editor escaped angle brackets. They re-pasted in the **Theme File Editor → footer.php** instead. The button appeared on the next page load.

## When this isn't right

Single-page apps with strict client-side routing (some Webflow templates, Next.js apps) sometimes unmount the widget during route changes. For those, install via your tag manager (GTM) and reload on route change. Or use the [hosted audit page](/help/getting-started/how-do-i-get-my-first-lead) and link to it from a regular button instead of embedding the widget.
