DebugView is a great feature in Google Analytics 4 and is a solid improvement compared to GA3 (Universal Analytics). It allows you to incorporate debugging the incoming data and test your implementation like goals or events.
However, sometimes it does not work. today I will discuss in this blog about this issue..
debug mode hasn't been enabled
to enable debugView mode, You need to activate debug mode by adding certain parameter with the page (ep.debug_mode or _dbg). And You can implement this through 3 ways.
- To start debugging GA data in Google Chrome, install the GA Debugger extension. Here is the download link Google Analytics Debugger
- Or by enabling Preview mode in Google Tag Manager
- You can use the debug_mode parameter to send events to the debug console. ( Just add ?debug_mode end of the any URL)
Hope if you find any trouble in enabling this feature, kindly let me know in comments !
