The issue comes from the fact that you’re trying to use regex on the wrong kind of object. The document.body is an HTML object, not a string. If you want to scan the body of your HTML for a specific word, you need to convert the body to a string first. You can use the innerHTML property to achieve this. Your function would then look like… Read more

It definitely sounds like a complex issue, Eric. The error you’re seeing, DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, is generally indicative of a task that is taking too long, which as you’ve noted, isn’t due to the size of the query. Your cluster demonstrating successful communication with the universal analytics API would also suggest it’s not an inherent connectivity… Read more

Hey there! So I’ve been poking around in GA4 Reports > Engagement > Pages and screens. Above the list of pages viewed, there’s a dropdown menu containing these options:

• Page title and screen class
• Page path and screen class
• Page title and screen name
• Content group

But, I noticed that there’s supposed to be a “Page path + querystring” option.…

Sure, here’s the gist of the situation:

The gtag set method doesn’t function as you might expect. It’s primarily useful for altering the DL for GTM’s benefit, but it doesn’t do much for setting properties. Nevertheless, you have alternatives.

One method is to define the params directly within the event call, like this: gtag("event", "Button… Read more

Discrepancies between GA4 and UA event counts, even with identical tags and triggers, can happen and are often due to the way these platforms process and count events. For instance, one finding suggests that GA4 might only show transactions that have a value for the field user_pseudo_id, which only appears in the BigQuery data export. Transactions… Read more

Hey there, just wondering if there’s a method to place my Google Analytics code in a different spot within my Angular project, instead of directly inside the head? I get that hiding my id isn’t an option, but I’m keen to keep my code looking cleaner when viewed via the browser. If you’ve got any solutions in Typescript that’d be ace!

I’m simply…

Yo, need some help here. I nabbed this bit of code from a developer mate of mine to keep a tab on hover events over images in Google Tag Manager. Here it is:

<script>
// Tracking Top Links Hover Menus
  function trackHoverIntent(selector, time) {
    var timeoutId;
    var elements = window.document.querySelectorAll(selector);
    for (var i = 0;…

To extract the specifics data such as the “Editor name” and the “Published Date” from GA4, you’ll want to use Google Tag Manager (GTM) in tandem with GA4. The first step is to create user-defined variables in GTM to capture these specific elements. You’ll likely need to use JavaScript or jQuery selectors to capture these data points from your… Read more

Switching from push() to unshift() for adding elements to dataLayer shouldn’t disrupt Google Analytics 4’s ability to read the data as long as the data structure remains the same. While push() adds elements to the end of an array, unshift() adds them to the beginning. However, Google Analytics 4 doesn’t inherently depend on the order of elements… Read more

To enable high throughput data transfer from Google Analytics to Big Query you’ll need Google Analytics 360, which removes the one-time export and daily import limits. It provides intraday updates and comes preconfigured to stream event data over. However, remember this comes at an additional cost.

This issue could be due to something as simple as a tracking code implemented the wrong way or more complex like an issue with how the website handles referrals. You can try a few things like checking if the tracking code’s installed correctly or if there are any redirects that might be wiping out the source information. Also, check your filters… Read more
