Troubleshooting

Common solutions:
  1. Check if you republished: Analytics won’t work until you republish your site after connecting
  2. Verify the code: Make sure you copied the complete Google tag code
  3. Wait for data: It can take 24-48 hours for data to appear in GA
  4. Test installation: Use the “Test installation” feature in Google Analytics
  5. Check domain: Ensure your domain is correctly published and accessible
If issues persist, contact our support team for assistance.
If you have multiple websites, you can:
  1. Create separate data streams for each domain in the same GA property
  2. Use different GA properties for completely separate tracking
  3. Set up cross-domain tracking if the sites are related
Choose the approach that best fits your analytics needs.
