What is GA4?
It's time for an upgrade. One that will change the way you operate your app, website and reporting networks for good. From July 2023, Universal Analytics will no longer process new data in standard properties and as a result, all Google Analytics users must make the switch to Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Although still in its infancy (and as with anything in its infancy, it still has substantial room for improvement), GA4 will eventually become the home of all your data, so it's in your best interests to make the switch from Universal Analytics immediately, to ensure you understand the nuances of GA4. The question remains, however, just how useful is GA4 and how does it compare to Universal Analytics?
