I have a website with around 100 page views / minute (as seen in my real time data overview. However, when I generate a report it says I've only had 15 page views. How do i get the pageviews/minute metric in a report so that the numbers are right?
Thanks!
Did you checked the pageviews report right after opening the real-time report?
Don't forget that to Free Google Analytics accounts it takes 24-48 hours for processing the data, to Premium GA accounts it takes 4 hours.
After that time go to Behavior > Site Content > All pages report and check if the data is right.

Environment: injected Google Analytics tracking in my SharePoint Online site - all good.
Now I have been clicking pages for more than an hour and wanted to check results. I see that tracking is working (see screenshot) - at that moment there was one active user (me) and have >30 page views in a 30min time window.
Problem: reports (user and page view count) seem to be empty, but I assume that there should be at least one user and multiple page view information. Is that correct or I am misusing Google Analytics?
Update:
Pressed "Refresh Report" and Google fetched new data. Unfortunately, nothing changed and data still is empty.
This report was generated on 12/04/2019 at 16:17:25
The time of when the report was generated is not reflective of how "fresh" the data is. For the free version of GA, there is no SLA and it can take upwards of 2 days, but generally under 24 hours. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7084038?hl=en
Seeing the user in realtime doesn't mean the data for the reports are updated. You need to be patient and wait.
If you're seeing data in the real time reports then the standard reports should populate. This can take time though in my experience the latency is usually less than 1 hour. Are you looking at the standard reports in an entirely unfiltered view - might be worth checking to see if any filters are impacting your data though they should effect the real time reports as well.
I want to get the page view data from Google Analytics using R. I am using googleAnalyticsR package for getting these data using R.
Currently, I can get the landingPagePath, secondPagePath, previousPagePath, exitPagePath information. But I want to get the whole viewed pages in that session which transaction occurred. For instance, let's say a visitor came to the my website and logged in. After that s/he visited in pages titled as below in a given order
Page1 > Page2 > Page1 > Category > Product12 > Product13 > Basket > Checkout
I want to get this view flow as it is. I cannot do it using google analytics api's metrics & dimensions for page tracking.
How can I get the full 'view flow' data? Can I create such a report using only google analytics reports? Or should I try something else?
Thanks for any advice,
Best.
Google Analytics is basically a database where every hit (pageview, event, etc) is a single row. Try fetching these dimensions:
Page
Date, Hour, Minute, Second
metrics:
Pageviews
sort by Date, Hour, Minute, Second
Once you got all the data, create logic in R finding most common pathes.
Normally, BigQuery is used for such tasks (if you have Analytics 360 - GMP, payed version off GA). In BigQuery you have hit number
I´m on homepage of Google Analytics, and when i click to show today data, its not load (and not show) today data.
I tried to delete the cache, im not using AdBlock and nothing else which could cause this problem.
If you are using the free version of Google Analytics, you typically need to wait at least 24 hours before data will start populating in GA. See this question: How long does it take for Google Analytics Goals to start show some data?
Most of the times it will show you the live data in reports(may be few mins delay)
Click on the Date Selecton on the top right corner of screen, then in "Date Range" select "today". It will show the latest data.
But the official time suggest by Google Analytics is 24 hours for free GA users and 4 hours for premium GA 360 users
Background:
I have a Google Analytics account using which I am tracking user activity for web and mobile app. After logging into your account and choosing the web property and the corresponding view, you generally see a dashboard with quick stats like Pageviews, Users, Sessions, Pages/Sessions, Avg. Session Duration, Bounce Rate and percentage of new sessions. You can change the time period (from the top right area of the Dashboard) to get the same stats for that period.
Problem:
Last week, I was interested in the three main stats: Page views, Users and Sessions for a particular day - say, day A. The dashboard showed the following stats:
Pageviews - 1,660,137
Users - 496,068
Sessions - 983,549
This report was based on 100% of sessions.
I go back to the dashboard TODAY and check the same stats for the same day A. Here's what I saw:
Pageviews - 1,660,137
Users - 511,071
Sessions - 1,005,517
This report is also based on 100% of sessions.
Nothing was changed in the tracking code for the web and mobile app. Could someone explain why I have this difference in the stats? Is this normal?
They need some time to update the system, otherwise their system would overwhelm
When you first create a profile it can take up to 48 -72 hours for it to start showing data.
After that time data will appear instantly in the Real-time reports.
Standard reports take longer to finish processing. You need to remember the amount of data that is being processed. Some of the data may appear in the standard reports after a few hours. The numbers have not completed processing for at least 24 hours, so anything you look at then will not be accurate.
When checking Google Analytics never look at todays or yesterdays numbers in the standards reports, if you want accurate information. Things get even more confusing when you consider time zones. When exactly is it yesterday? I have noticed numbers changing as far back as 48 hours. But Google Says in there documentation 24 hours. I am looking for the link in the documentation will post it when I find it.
Found it: Data Limits
Data processing latency
Processing latency is 24-48 hours. Standard accounts that send more
than 200,000 sessions per day to Google 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 you send to < 200,000 per
day. For Premium accounts, this limit is extended to 2 billion hits
per month.
So try doing the same thing again today but check your last day being Monday. When you check again next week the numbers should be correct.
I took the code from the google-analytics website and put it right before the closing body tag like the instructions say to do and changed the xxxxx-x value from the profile page in the code.
I uploaded the new index file and refreshed the page a few times and have yet to get a single hit on it and I'm kind of curious as to why this might be? Any ideas?
You won't see analytics data in realtime. Google is working towards that, but there is a lag in showing traffic:
See this Google Help page:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Analytics/thread?tid=450ae99d8e40bfaf&hl=en
"Hi, Google Analytics has a current time lag for standard tracking of about 1-2 hours - so it's almost real-time (do you really want to check your analytics data every 10 minutes?). Switch to the current day in your calender and refer to the hourly reports - for example the Visitors/Visitor Trending/Visits/Graph by Hour report - to verify that."
