What does ‘parallel tracking’ in Google Ads mean for advertisers using third-party tracking?

Accepted Answer

Parallel tracking in Google Ads means sending users directly to the final URL while tracking happens in the background, reducing page load time compared to sequential redirect tracking. This helps improve user experience and reduces the risk of users dropping off before the page fully loads.
