What to do when you have maxed out GTM container

[MJTrevens]

Unfortunately, we have maxed out our capacity for our GTM container because we are using the same container for many websites. We need the ability to add new tags though without deleting old ones.

As a temporary patch, we are creating a second container to push to all sites so we can run both containers simultaneously. Our biggest concern with this is slowing down page load speed because of having all tags from both containers firing on pages.

What are the issues with having multiple containers on our sites?

What would be the best way to do this long term?

Have you tried consolidating the tags as much as possible?

Custom variables may help to do this: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/topic/7683268?visit_id=0-636607210631473682-3757403381&rd=1

From what I know, if you can avoid multiple containers it’s better. However I’d recommend checking out this for more info: https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/devguide?hl=en#multiple-containers

I hope that helps
