A couple of things to bear in mind though :-

1. The GA4 javascript tag is heavier than the previous Universal Analytics tag and can have an impact on your page speed (which DOES affect ranking). There is a simple way of offloading the tag until the page load is complete. pm me if you want details

2. When switching to GA4, make sure you do your whole site at once. Any pages that still have the old UA javascript tag will load BOTH the UA javascript AND the GA4 javascript libraries and that will really slow down your page

Hope this helps

excellent - I've been trying to get others to see this exactly thing. Thank you for making a simple understandable explanation.


femdomdestiny if you want me to do a quick review I"d be happy to at no cost and send you the data. Always best to make sure things check out
