Here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to Google Analytics: Go to Google Analytics and sign in with your account.

2. Select your GA4 Property: Make sure you select the GA4 property for the website you want to check.

3. Navigate to Real-Time Reports:

   • In the left-hand menu, click on Reports.

   • Under Reports, select Real-time.

1. Visit Your Website: Open a new tab in your browser and go to your website. This will generate real-time data.

2. Monitor the Real-Time Report: Go back to the Google Analytics Real-Time Report and see if your visit shows up. You should see at least one active user on the site (which is you).

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 í successfully tracking data from your website
