11 Confirm live traffic

Confirm real traffic is flowing through the published mirror pipeline. Uses GA4 realtime API (≤5 min latency) to verify events from your site reach the test GA4 property.

Note: This step content was written for the original dual-run architecture and is being updated for the current setup workflow. The guide overview reflects the current approach.

This step is being finalized. Content is accurate but will be updated and expanded before full release.

Deliverable

Real traffic confirmed flowing through the published mirror pipeline; GA4 realtime + /healthy + Cloud Run logs all clean.

11.1 Validate GA4 Realtime + Service Health

Visit your site to trigger pageviews. The app polls GA4 Data API runRealtimeReport on both properties to confirm page_view and session_start counts in the last 5 minutes, probes the tagging endpoint /healthy, and scans Cloud Run logs for errors over the last hour.

Checks

  • API page_view appears in primary GA4 property Realtime.
  • API page_view appears in Test GA4 Property Realtime.
  • API session_start fires in both GA4 properties.
  • HTTP Tagging service /healthy returns 200 during validation.
  • API Cloud Run logs show no errors during validation period.
