Learning Track
Prebid.js / Prebid Server
Understand auction flow, bidder adapters, and timeout impact across client and server setups.
Why it matters
Header bidding drives revenue; TAMs must explain timeouts, price granularity, and adapter issues to publishers.
What to read
- Prebid auction flow doc; timeout config; price granularity
- Prebid Server request/response flow; latency guidance
How to practice
- Run Prebid locally; add two bidders; capture network waterfall.
- Compare client vs PBS timing; chart win-rate vs timeout settings.
- Validate targeting keys passed to GAM.
Outputs to keep
- hb-test-page.html, timeout-report.md, pbs-vs-client.csv.
References
- Prebid.org docs (client & server)
- Adapter-specific docs for the bidders you test
