So Google is doing away with Google Analytics 3, aka Common Analytics and you’ll all have to modify to Google Analytics 4, aka GA 4. Common Analytics properties will cease processing new hits on July 1, 2023. Meaning you must arrange GA 4 actually quickly so you’ll be able to evaluate yr over yr information – GA 3 information will not migrate to GA 4.

I truthfully thought Google would determine a option to migrate the information from GA 3 to GA 4 earlier than forcing folks off Common Analytics. I assume not. I imply, to not be capable of look again on the analytics on my web site from 5, 10, 15 + years in the past, that’s simply so unhappy.

Google defined the timeline as follows:

  • After July 1, 2023, you’ll entry your beforehand processed information in your Common Analytics property for a minimum of six months. We all know your information is necessary to you, and we strongly encourage you to export your historic reviews throughout this time.
  • Within the coming months, we’ll present a future date for when present Common Analytics properties will not be accessible. After this future date, you may not be capable of see your Common Analytics reviews within the Analytics interface or entry your Common Analytics information by way of the API.

So I assume export your Common Analytics information? Significantly?
