There are several ways to check if GA4 is working properly on your website. You can choose any one of the three methods:

1 - Check Real-Time Reports in GA4: This is the fastest way to confirm that data is being sent successfully.

2 - Use browser Extension: Tag Explorer and Google Analytics Debugger:

Check Real-Time Reports in GA4

1. Log in to your Google Analytics account.
2. Select the correct GA4 Property for your website.
3. Navigate to Reports > Realtime Overview.
4. Open your website in a new tab, browse a few pages, or view a product.
5. Go back to the Real-time report; you should see your visit (Active Users) and events (Event Count) starting to appear.

Identifying Events from Trakpilot:

• Click on an event (e.g., view_item).

• Look for the from_trakpilot parameter. If its value is 1, it confirms the Trakpilot app is tracking and sending data correctly.

• Check the event_source parameter:
• trakpilot_server: Sent via Trakpilot's server (Server-side).
• trakpilot_client: Sent via the browser (Client-side).

What to Look For

• Active Users: The number should increase to reflect your visit.
• Page Views: The page you’re on should appear in the list of active pages.
• Location: Your location might be displayed if available.

If you see your activity in Real-Time report, it means Google Analytics status is fine. GA4 is successfully tracking data from your website

Use browser Extension

1. Install Extension:

• Install extension Tag Explorer
• Install extension Google Analytics Debugger and turn ON debug mode

2. Trigger Events on Your Website:

• Open your website and activate the Tag Explorer extension.
• Perform an action (e.g., View a product: event: view_item).

• In the event list captured by the extension, click on event details and find the from_trakpilot parameter.
• If you see from_trakpilot: 1, the event was successfully triggered by our app.
