Google Analytics 4Integration
While real-time tracking is enabled by default, you can optionally integrate Google Analytics 4 to unlock even more powerful insights including device breakdowns, geographic distribution, traffic sources, session duration, bounce rate, and more.

Data Processing Timeline
Understanding GA4 Data Delay
Google Analytics 4 processes data in batches, which means there's a delay between when visitors interact with your site and when that data appears in your analytics dashboard.
Real-time Data (Instant)
Page views, unique visitors, and basic metrics update immediately
GA4 Data (24-48 hours)
Device breakdowns, geographic data, traffic sources, session metrics
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does GA4 data take to appear?
GA4 data typically has a 24-48 hour delay due to Google's processing time. Real-time tracking data appears immediately.
Do I need to set up GA4 for each project?
No! GA4 integration is configured once at the platform level and works automatically for all projects. No per-project configuration needed.
What if GA4 is blocked by ad-blockers?
That's exactly why we provide both systems! Real-time tracking works even with ad-blockers, while GA4 provides rich data when available.
Can I use just real-time tracking without GA4?
Absolutely! Real-time tracking works independently and provides all the essential metrics you need. GA4 is an optional enhancement for richer insights.
