Google Analytics 4 (GA4) automatically tracks page views by default.

You don't need

to set up any special events or code to monitor this basic user activity.

Here's a breakdown of how GA4 handles page views:

Automatic Tracking:

When someone visits a page on your website or app, GA4 automatically captures
this as a page view. It utilizes enhanced measurement capabilities to gather this data
without any manual intervention.

Data Captured:

For each page view, GA4 typically collects information like:

 Page title and URL

 Time spent on the page
 Referring URL (if the user came from another website)
 Device and browser used

Event Name:

While there's no specific event name associated with page views in GA4, you'll find
this data readily available in your reports.

Viewing Page View Data:

 Look for the Engagement section in your GA4 reports.

 Within Engagement, you'll find reports like Pages and screens that showcase page
view data.
 This report allows you to analyze various metrics related to page views, such as the
number of views, unique users, and average time spent on each page.

Benefits of Automatic Tracking:

 Effortless Setup: No need for additional event creation or code implementation.

 Accurate Data Collection: GA4's robust tracking ensures a reliable picture of your
website traffic.
 Valuable Insights: Page view data provides foundational insights into user behavior
on your site.

Additional Notes:

 In some very rare cases, you might need to implement manual pageview tracking
using the gtag('event', 'page_view') if automatic tracking malfunctions. However,
this is uncommon and not the standard approach.

By leveraging GA4's automatic page view tracking, you gain valuable insights into
how users navigate your website or app, allo
