Yo, our website eskimi.com is super laggy and unresponsive, especially when scrolling fast or clicking. It seems linked to our GA4 tag and it’s only happening for peeps using Chrome and an Apple M1 (maybe M2, not totally sure).

We’ve even tried adding scripts from other sites, but we’re still having the same problem. It’s been like this for two… Read more

In a Nutshell: Picture this: I have a site and a widget, both running Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The issue? All events are being sent to both their trackers. Question is, how do I keep them separate?

The Whole Story:
I’ve got two react web apps. One acts as the parent website, and the other, a widget, is integrated within it (built using Webpack…

The person is trying to gather data from their website by using Google Analytics Data API v4. They successfully created custom events, which are special user interactions with a website that can be tracked independently from a web page or a screen load. However, they’re encountering a problem where some of the events are not reflecting when… Read more

Hey there! It seems like you’ve stumbled upon one of those tricky things with Google. They’ve designed it to automatically interpret numbers as numerical values, not strings, even if you’ve tried converting them with something like the .toString() method.

A workaround that’s been found, which is a bit subtler than adding a letter to the ID, is… Read more

It seems like the issue you’re experiencing is due to the format of the URL you’re using in your request. It would be best to ensure the proper http or https format for the link. In this case, adding ‘https://’ before ‘www.google-analytics.com’ in your request might help solve the problem. You were receiving a 403 error because the server wasn’t… Read more

Hey there, I’ve got this complex scenario at a big university where I’m overseeing tons of subdomains and apps, and we’re switching over to GA4 (yeah, we’re late to the party!). Right now, we’ve got 20+ properties each housing up to 25 views, and these bad boys are all tracking individual apps or subdomains. We usually grant permission to access…

Yes, it is common to see a discrepancy between the ecommerce purchase data in GA4 and the actual database record, but the usual range is around 10%.

Adblockers are a major reason for this. Depending on your audience, the percentage of users who use adblockers can significantly vary, hence blocking your tracking. For example, technical or savvy… Read more

It sounds like you’re having some issues with GA4’s Data API. It’s still new and in its testing phase, and while it does currently sample more data than the old Core Reporting API, there’s no word yet on when they’ll fix these issues. Hopefully, they’ll make improvements soon!

It seems you’re on the right track with monitoring how often customers engage with certain offers on your site. However, there’s a slight snag in the method you’re trying to use. You see, you can’t use the ‘get’ method with gtag unless first you have set data.

When you are logging an event, like offer_view, the data from that event is essentially… Read more

Usually, when you send events directly with gtag(), they’re automatically sent to Google Analytics without you needing to handle the dataLayer yourself. I think there might be a problem with your configuration. Check your code for correct measurement ID (GA xxxxx-x), and that you’re using gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID') not datalayer.push().… Read more

Sure, here’s a simpler explanation. The issue you’re seeing is because the first row is counting all events – not just downloads. To fix this, you’ll want to add an extra filter. This filter should be set to specifically look at ‘file_download’ events. That way, your event count should only register a hit when there’s an actual download of the PDF file.
