View creative compliance status using the Creative Validator
You can view the compliance status of your ads and get detailed information on which, if any, 4th-party calls are not secure using the Creative Validator.
The validator accepts display ad tags (HTML or JavaScript) and video ad tags (VAST URL or VAST XML). Validation of fourth-party calls from Flash are not supported.
To view creative compliance status:
- Sign in to your Ad Exchange account at google.com/adx.
- Select the "Bidding" tab and click Creative Validator from the left navigation menu.
- Copy and paste your ad tag into the tool.
- Click Scan creative and view the result.
Results display the compliance status of your creative. If any of the calls are determined to be non-secure, contact the appropriate advertiser or partner to obtain a secure version of the tag.
Possible compliance results

The scan performed with the Creative Validator is an abridged version of a complete SSL scan, used to instantly display SSL compliance. Because of the expedited nature of this scan, there may be an occasional variance in compliance results.
