# Check Real-Time Reports in GA4

Another simple way to see if GA4 is working is by checking the **Real-Time reports** within your Google Analytics account. These reports show you live data from your website, so you can confirm if visitor information is being tracked correctly.

**Here’s how to do it:**

1. **Log in to Google Analytics:**\
   Go to [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com) 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**.

4. **Visit Your Website:**\
   Open a new tab in your browser and go to your website. This will generate real-time data.
5. **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
