GA4: What you can see in the Home Page

Last Update 14/12/22

Note: If the property isn't receiving data yet, you'll see a banner along the top with instructions to create a data stream or set up data collection.
Once the property receives data, the data appears in the Home page cards.

The overview card shows metrics that are relevant to you with a trendline for each metric.
Analytics updates the metrics in the overview card based on your behavior in Analytics.

For example, if you regularly look at the Total revenue metric, Analytics adds a tab to the overview card with how much revenue changed in the last 7 days.
You can click the tab to see a trendline (solid line) with a data point for each day in the last 7 days compared to data points for the previous 7 days (dashed line).

Realtime
The realtime card shows activity as it happens using data from the Realtime report. The card shows the number of users in the last 30 minutes (per minute) with up to 5 countries from which the activity originates. Learn more about location information.

Recently viewed
The Recently viewed section provides links to parts of your Analytics account that you visited most recently. For example, if you recently viewed the Admin page, the Home page includes a link to the Admin page along with when you last visited the page.

Because you view frequently
The Because you view frequently section shows cards that you view often, even if you haven't viewed them recently. For example, Analytics displays a New users by First user medium card if you regularly view the card in the User acquisition report.

Insights & Recommendations
The Insights & Recommendations section shows you insights and recommendations.

Insights are unusual changes, emerging trends, and other insights about your site or app. For example, seeing specific anomalies can help you more quickly identify changes in data that may warrant further analysis and action. You can click Expand Expand to open an insight or View all insights to open all insights. Learn more about insights

Recommendations provide tailored suggestions to help you get the most useful and accurate data and take advantage of new, relevant features as they become available. Google surfaces recommendations by looking at your property's history, your settings, and trends across Google Analytics.

You might not see any recommendations if your property recently started running, but be sure to check back again soon. Google Analytics regularly discovers recommendations for you and launches new recommendations. Learn more about recommendations.

Adjust the date range
By default, the overview card and the cards in the Because you view frequently section show data for the last 7 days. You can adjust the date range using the dropdown on the bottom left of a card. Adjusting the date range on one card doesn't change the date range on other cards on the Home page.
