tiqcdn.com, the tag host on 86 corporate sites
tiqcdn.com is the delivery host for Tealium iQ tag-management containers: the single file a site loads so that its analytics and advertising tags can be added, changed or switched off from a dashboard instead of a code deploy. This index has no vendor record under that hostname, so it appears here in its raw form, seen on 86 of the 5,294 sites measured. The corroborating detail is in its own co-presence figures — tealiumiq.com was contacted on 14 of those 86 pages.
Where you meet it, and why it looks anonymous
A tag manager sits between a site and the services it reports to. The site includes one script; everything else is configured remotely. That design is why the hostname shows up in network panels and blocker lists far more often than the product name does, and why a reader who searches for it usually has no idea what they have found. What this index can add is the shape of the sites that load it: 86 of them, 1.6 percent of the sample, ranked 49th of the 88 companies here by site count.
Late first contact
The median site here does not make its first third-party contact until 857 ms, which is the 11th-highest median of the 88 companies indexed — only ten sit later. The earliest single site managed 186 ms. Taken with the rest of the profile, the picture is of large, slow-building pages rather than of pages that fire everything at once. The extreme case in the sample is huawei.com, where first contact came at 3,863 ms with 2 companies reached and none of them inside the consent window.
OneTrust on a third of the sites
A consent banner was detected on 38 of the 86 sites. Seen alongside: OneTrust on 29, an IAB TCF consent tool on 7, Cookiebot on 1, Usercentrics on 1. A site can carry more than one banner, so these are separate counts. The OneTrust concentration is the notable part — this is a corporate-compliance profile rather than a publisher-advertising one, where TCF tools dominate instead.
Middling weight, modest tracking
The median site contacts 7 companies (58th of 88), carries 1 company classified as tracking (65th of 88), and makes 30 requests (70th of 88). On 80 of the 86 sites — 93 percent — at least one company was contacted before a banner could have been answered, ranked 50th of 88, with a median of 4 companies inside that window (80th of 88, level with seven others) and a median of 2 contacted after it closes. Nothing here is extreme except the timing.
The sites are enterprise IT
The sample reads like a vendor list for corporate infrastructure: cisco.com, ibm.com, intuit.com, autodesk.com, f5.com, nginx.com, webex.com, opendns.com, ups.com, huawei.com, telekom.de and telekom.net. The co-presence figures match: Google on 40.7 percent of the sites, demdex.net on 18.6, akstat.io on 17.4, go-mpulse.net and tealiumiq.com on 16.3 each, New Relic on 11.6, trustarc.com on 10.5, Akamai on 9.3. Performance monitoring, an analytics suite, a consent platform, a CDN. intuit.com contacted 9 companies with all 9 inside the window at 795 ms; webex.com contacted 12 with 6 inside it at 1,185 ms.

Questions
Is tiqcdn.com a tracker?
The index has no vendor record for it and therefore no tracking classification. Functionally it delivers a container that can load tracking tags, so what matters on any given page is which tags that container was configured to load — something a site-level measurement can show and this index cannot.
Why does OneTrust appear so much more than the TCF tools here?
OneTrust was seen on 29 of the 38 sites with a banner, against 7 for an IAB TCF tool. The sample is dominated by enterprise IT vendors rather than ad-funded publishers, and those two groups tend toward different consent products.
Is 857 ms unusual?
It is the 11th-highest median first-contact figure of the 88 companies in this index, so yes — these pages sit among the later starters. Individual sites vary widely, from 186 ms to 3,863 ms in this sample.
Does blocking this hostname stop the tags it delivers?
This index does not measure blocking outcomes. It records only which hosts were contacted, in what order and how many companies were involved.
