# How to check if GA4 is tracking

There are a few ways to check if GA4 is working properly on your website. You can choose any one of the below 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
# Method 1: Real-time reports in GA4 (fastest)
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 storefront 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 Omega Google Ads:**
* Click on an event (e.g., `view_item`).

* Look for the **`from_trakpilot`** parameter. If its value is **`1`**, it confirms the Omega Google Ads app is tracking and sending data correctly.

**__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
