How to track websites with my own code for Affiliate Network

I am working on an affiliate network project. Can you please share your thoughts that how can I track any website by writing my own code? Just like Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel and Clickbank.
I want to know how these codes work and what's the algorithm in the backend.

Is there a way to send my Chrome Extension to testers before it being approved?

I'm building a chrome extension, and have sent it for approval trough the Google Web Store Developer Dashboard. When I completed the process, I was informed that it may take several weeks for my extension to be reviwed for publishing. I chose to publish it only for testing. Is there a way for me to have some friends download it and test it before the reviewing process is complete? Thank you.

I realized later that after sending the extension for review, I can see a link for the extension in the store. This link is not publicly available, and can only be acessed by myself and accounts that I add as trusted testers on my "Account" page. After adding the e-mails for my friends, I can send them the link, and they will be able to download the extension from there. (The authorization for the testers has a small delay, but usually after 5 minutes they are able to see the extension page). This was exactly what I needed, and I think is simpler then sending the code to my friends.

If you don't mind sharing the code with your friends, you can simply send them the folder of your extension. Then your friends can go to chrome://extensions/ turn on the developer mode and load the extension the same way you do when developing.

Website crashes on single network but works everywhere else

Can a old version of jquery (specifically a javascript auto refresh code) crash a website for a single user/local network?
I have a small/simple MySQL database with PHP coded site to insert and retrieve data for internal (non-public) use. It was developed over 4 years ago and still uses jquery-1.2.6.min.js and have had no problems until the past month. Now the site is very random on the operation but only affects the local networks the user I developed it for. It is not a browser crash such as when it goes down the site is unavailable on any computer in the network. Switch to a hotspot or a different building and all works as designed.
I don’t have any reason to think it is website or hosting problem (have talked to hosting support 3 times) but I am trying to cover my bases as the network engineers and ISP tech support are all scratching their heads.
I have used two instances of an auto refresh script 1) to show current time to the user and 2) to refresh the screen with new database content every 15 seconds.
An example on one of the two refresh scripts:
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function load_content({ $(‘#db_content’).load(‘ac_data.php’).hide().show();}
setInterval(‘load_content()’, 15000);
<div id=“db_content”>
<?php require ‘ac_data.php’;?
</div>
Is there any remote chance the code could be to blame since the site has not been updated since original development? I am merely looking for ammo to put the ball back in the network teams court but if there is any chance my code could cause a hang up then I would like to be able to fix it.

Get size of websites in browser history

I need to get data about my browsing history:
time spend on a site
visit count
total amount of visited sites
data amount (of each site)
As far as I've seen for three points in the list there exist tools to retrieve the data.
Especially point 4 is very important but I don't know any tool for it …
Does anyone know a tool where I could get this data from?

have you tried Webtime Tracker chrome extension?

to automate Google chrome web page

Can automation be done in Google chrome that needs to perform the below function
1. Enter a job name that needs to be monitored
2. Click a refresh button in the web page (not the whole refresh button of Google chrome page that appears in left hand side corner) periodically
3. Open each sub job under the main job by clicking a folder type button and monitor whether its running or failed by differentiating the icons ( green color for running , red color for failed)
4. Alert needs to be prompted immediately if all the sub jobs are completed successfully or if any of the sub job is failed
Is it feasible without using celenium tool?
Awaiting for the reply

Selenium should perfectly fit for all your needs.
What is Selenium?
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
