E-mailAs I was chatting with my friend on Google analytics,he told me that Google analytics doesn’t show real time data.So I went to the analytics dashboard and saw their faq on “ How long does it take to see report data ? ”
Answer was
Google Analytics generally updates your reports every 24 hours. This means that it could take 24 hours for data to appear in your account after you have first installed the tracking code.
So according to the answer their is No way to get real time data from google analytics.Infact,their is one way !.This isn’t my Google Hack,it is just a mistake from google analytics faq team.
So here is how you can get real time data from Google analytics :
Just go to your Google analytics page and have a look at the right top which reads “My analytics Accounts”.Below are the date range feature and next to that their is arrow pointing downwards.(see the image)
Just click on that arrow and you will be presented with a calendar showcasing 1 month dates.Just click on the current date and then click on Apply button.
The page refreshes and Viola! You can see the real time statistics for your blog!

That is one sweet trick!
Nice trick. I will try it myself.
Nice trick
Althouygh I knew this ever since I Started using GAS
thanks but i am using it from last one month
I have been using that trick for a while now. There is still a short two hour lag, but good enough for me. When using this tip keep an eye out for an hourly link and really know what’s going on for that day. The link is usually found near the header of the results.
great… i do not really know this technique… thanks..
hahaha cool trick
- though, I only use analytics once after the day has ended =)
@Everyone –> Thanks for the comment
God bless everyone!!
I use it frequently to view latest traffic.
Thanks Siddharth,
Nice tip.
Old trick… but someone had to publish it
Thats Great Trick, But ya it still has 2 hours Lag. not so Real time data like Woopra Gives
I have been using Woopra (http://www.woopra.com/) for about a week now and it shows real time stats very nicely. I can even use it alongside to Google Analytics for their funneling down but if you want to know what a visitor is doing at your site, at this exact moment, check out Woopra.
Just as a disclaimer, I have no attachments to Woopra other than thinking it’s a kick ass analytics package.
Good tip….I’ve been using this mostly, although my intention was to get the numbers for the day and not for realtime stats.
No i don’t think like so.
This is good BUT it’s not “real time”
It takes maybe an hour or even two hours for the results to be updated…..they will usually pop up at some point after refreshing.
Either way, very good!
