goo.gl link created 5 days ago. received 2601 clicks to date.
GA account only showing 399 hits for the entire month for the page it directs traffic to on the site. Link received 1000 hits in first day and is well past 24-48 data delay for GA account.
All tracking codes are correct on site.
Can anyone think of a reason there is such a huge deference in these figures?

I believe I have followed the instructions for adding Google Tag Manager to the letter -- including adding the scripts to all pages of my website. I then added the tag for Google Analytics 4. I have tested this tag many times via the Preview and Debug mode in Google Analytics. In debug mode, I could see when pages were loading, in terms of the basic functions. I have also gone live and have supposedly had this functioning for a few weeks now. If I monitor the Real-Time Report in Google Analytics , then call up my website, I can see my activities showing up including additional tags for monitoring YouTube videos and their progress. When monitoring the Network activity in the browser debug tools, I see data is being sent and replies (presumably from Google) acknowledging them with a 204 thumbs up.If I go to another computer under another name, I can also get those visits to show in the Real-Time data. However, there has been no data accumulating for website visitors. My website is new and does not get a lot of hits, but it gets many more than GA is reporting. I see something like 23 for the last three weeks. Cloudflare Analytics shows over 1,100 unique visitors in the last month with between 30 and 97 new visitors per day. There must be something simple I have missed but I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere through searches or YouTube video aids. How can I install GA4 and know for sure that the data is being accumulated by Analytics at Google? I really want this to work.

I'm very new to google analytics. I'm using it to know the performance metrics of a website, this website is not mine. I'm assigned to analyze the performance metrics of that website. The step i do is i sign in, put the url to the website and then i'm directed to the home but somehow in every dashboard i check, there's no data at all. The website is https://www.latihid.com/.
I'm very confused right now because I thought simple sign in and putting link url is enough for the google analytics to show me the dashboards of the data and i have seen in every tutorial I found that when they open the google analytics it will show them the dashboard with data (not blank dashboards).
Please help me, what's wrong and how to fix it
steps to begin using Google analytics.
Create account on google analytics
Add Tracking script to your website JavaScript snippet
Account creation latency (1)
When you create a new google analytics account on the google analytics website it can take between 48 -72 hours for this account to start recording data. This has nothing to do with the age of your website it has to do with the time it takes to prevision your account.
Data processing latency (2)
Once your account is ready to start displaying data and you have added the JavaScript snippet to your website and have begun sending hits to Google
analytics. If you check the real time reports on the Google analytics website you will begin seeing it recording data.
It takes 24 -48 hours for data sent to google analytics to complete processing and be shown in the standard reports. Again this has nothing to do with your website it has to do with the data processing latency on Google analytics.
We are using google analytics on our website to record the statistics. however, we need to show the total visits is it possible to show from google analytics API? TIA
Im not sure where you want to show the total visits but if its on your website you need to remember a few things about the Google Analytics api.
The first being that there is a data latency which means that it takes between 24 -48 hours for your data to complete processing. If you attempt to request say the current visits for today then the number will not be correct. You could request the number of vists for say three days ago and get back a number that is stable.
The other issue you are going to have is with quota. If you intend to load this from the API everytime a user visits your website they you will quickly run out of quota as you can only make 10k requests against a view in a single day so depending upon how many times this page is loaded this may not work for you.
An idea would be to load the data once at night and store the data in your database some place and then load from that as then you are only making a single request to the api and are unlikely to run out of quota.

Yes, just get ga:sessions metric defining the time interval that interests you.

I've got an API query that pulls Acquisition/Channel data by day, users, sessions, bounce rate, etc. Historically, I tie out exactly to the data shown at the GA site.
I've built a new report that analyzes our same-day sales, and find that all my numbers are much higher than that shown on the GA site. This was the situation yesterday, and now my data, pulled this morning, ties out.
I haven't seen the GA site update our numbers in hours, but my GA API data is changing on each pull.
Is this expected behavior? Have others seen similar things?
Data going into GA and pulled from the API is not real-time. There is a processing latency with data processing that could be 24-28 hours.
I am using the Analytics API to get the number of sessions from the previous day. I run this code at 5am.
When I get to the office at 9am, querying the API again (or seeing the analytics
interface) returns me a higher number then the one I got at 5am.
So, how long does Analytics take to update data from day before? Is this the issue or could it be something else? I was thinking could be something timezone related, but after getting my head through it, now, I think it can't.
Thanks
It takes between 24 and 48 hours for data to finish processing in Google Analytics. This is true for both the Google Analytics API and the Google Analytics website. Although the website might get data before the API but I have been unable to prove this because by the time you make the request again both have changed. Its probably not related to time zone its from the time the hit was recorded.
Data limits
Data processing latency Processing latency is 24-48 hours. Standard
accounts that send more than 200,000 sessions per day to Analytics
will result in the reports being refreshed only once a day. This can
delay updates to reports and metrics for up to two days. To restore
intra-day processing, reduce the number of sessions your account sends
to < 200,000 per day. For Premium accounts, this limit is extended to
2 billion hits per month.
