GA4

GA4 (Google Analytics 4)

The current generation of Google Analytics, built on an event-based data model rather than the sessions and pageviews of Universal Analytics. Everything — a click, a scroll, a purchase — is an event with parameters. Universal Analytics was shut down for good in 2024.

Why it matters
If you still think in “sessions and bounce rate”, you think in the old paradigm. GA4 measures behavior at the event level — a different way to read the data.

“GA4” is part of Glossary · Tracking & data — part of the Atlas, Websem's reference of AI search, marketing and data terms.
