This fires every declared tracking URL directly, ourselves — bypassing IMA entirely, so nothing is hidden inside a sandboxed frame. That also means it's a reachability check, not a playback simulation: URLs fire immediately rather than at the real quartile/impression moment, and macros like [CACHEBUSTING] are substituted with placeholder values, not real user data. "Reachable" means the request completed — some ad servers correctly respond with an empty 204, which is normal, not a failure. Cross-origin browser rules mean we can't read the exact HTTP status code, only whether the network request itself succeeded or failed outright (DNS/connection error, blocked request, etc). Works for pasted VAST/VMAP XML, or a VAST/VMAP URI we can fetch directly.

HTML5/MRAID creatives don't declare click tracking in a structured spec the way VAST does — it's just JavaScript baked into the creative. This scans the pasted source for the common conventions: a global clickTag/clickTag2 variable, an anchor tagged with id="clickTag", or a Google Studio/CM360 Enabler.exit() call. Some ad-builder frameworks compute the real click URL from macros at runtime instead of writing it anywhere as text — those won't show up here from the static source alone, but running the creative once in Ad Preview lets this also check common globals (like window.clickTag or window.runtime_clickTag) after the ad actually initializes, which catches many of those. If a creative uses something else entirely for click handling, this won't find it either way — there's no reliable way to detect arbitrary custom code without actually clicking it.
