**Trigger Events on Your Website:**

While on your website in debug mode, perform some actions, such as navigation between pages or clicking buttons that should trigger events.

**Monitor Events in DebugView:**

* In DebugView, you’ll see a real-time stream of events on the right side of the screen. Each event should correspond to actions you’ve performed on your website.
* Events show up as dots on a timeline, with recent events listed at the top.
* If your GA4 tags are working, you should see events like `page_view`, `scroll`, `add_to_cart` or any custom events you’ve set up.

***

**Verify Event Details:**

* Click on each event to view detailed information, such as parameters and user properties, confirming that GA4 is capturing data accurately.

That’s how to check if GA4 is working or not.
