Q: Is my real-time alert data skewed?

|| Have you received an anomaly that looks like this: But - you know that your data is correct and this is an **incorrect **anomaly alert? | Explanation Higher traffic websites can run into issues with how Google collect their data. This can also be viewed on Google Analytics or GA360. It can take Google several hours to full process the data it collects, and real-time alerts will interpret this as an anomaly. In fact, there is no anomaly - you just need to instruct GA Insights to wait a small amount of time before the AI engine processes the data. | Solution When configuring your intelligent alerts, you can click 'Settings'. Move the Hourly delay to a higher range. Depending on the amount of traffic your site has, anything between 2-4 hours of delay will ensure there is no mistake. || We also offer custom solutions involving the Google real-time data source.

Question 2

Why are you not a free service?

Accepted Answer

GA-Insights are a small company with relatively small revenue and staff.

We would love to offer our service as a fremium model, but having experimented with this it, unfortunately, costs us more than is sustainable. The price of our infrastructure must be justified with paid accounts.

It's possible this will change in the future, but for now we are a paid service with a 10 day free trial. If you do decide to pay for your account then a big thanks for us, and we hope you are safe in the knowledge you are supporting a small business and helping us to grow bigger and with better features to you in the future.
