Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
I get that but my question is, is there a way to insert a new GA4 analytics code somewhere into the header file? I mean it's just a Javascript tracking code. Why is there a necessity for a plug in?

Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
It depends on whether you want 'basic' tracking (i.e. page-traversal) or the 'ecommerce' events (someone added something to the cart or completed checkout).

Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
I would like to incorperate full ecommerce tracking so I was looking at this plugin, However the site already uses google tag manager and the documentation implies that it should really be one or the other and not both.
Should I be looking how to add the ecommerce tracking into tag manager or is it plausible to still install the plugin?
Thanks!

Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
The GA-4 Analytics plugin and be used in either GTM or GA-4 mode, depending on the type of Google Marketing ID with which you configure the plugin. If you've already got Google Tag Manager in use, then that should be removed prior to installation so that you don't get (at best) double-reporting of information or (at worst) Google "mad" at you.

GA4 Analytics
GA4 Measuring ID
I'm getting slower checkout times as google Analytics is sending data to Google.. I get the spinning time tool and I can count to 10 sometimes while it's sending data to google. Is there a way to speed this up?

Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
Perhaps a "preconnect" to Google's tag manager would help. See this link for additional information.
Try adding this just after the <head> tag in the site's template's html_header.php:
FWIW, I saw no noticeable lag in the pages' display on the site.Code:<link href="https://www.googletagmanager.com" rel="preconnect" crossorigin>

Re: GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]
I'll do what you posted.. It's only during checkout...
I use OPC with Bootstrap and the circle of time spins for about 10 seconds while someone checks out. With or without Credit Card, it's the same time.
I'll update after I put this line in.
