How to test if Google Analytics has been properly configured

1. One way is that you open Google Analytics and open the Reports and the Realtime Overview dashboard to view the real time traffic. Then open your website in another browser window and start browsing different pages of your website. If the correct Google Analytics Measurement ID has been added to your website, you should see 1 or (1 increase) in the number of real-time traffic of your website inside Google Analytics.
2. The other way is a bit technical and requires familiarity with HTML. If you are familiar with HTML, you can open your website home page in a new browser tab. Then click on Ctrl + U to view the source of the website. Find two script tags at the end of the HEAD section of your website home page. The first one is an async script to the Google Tag Manager JavaScript with the measurement ID you just entered as the id query string.

The second script is the Google JavaScript that has the measurement ID you entered under gtag function:

window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer [];function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}gtag(js,new Date());gtag(config,G-XXXXXXXXXX);

By following these steps, you have successfully integrated Google Analytics into your website and verified that your Measurement ID is working correctly. With analytics in place, you can now monitor visitor behavior, track important metrics and make informed decisions to grow your online presence.
