Google Analytics 4 Launches AMP Support: A Seamless Transition for Publishers
Google has made an exciting update for publishers using Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) by rolling out AMP support in Google Analytics 4 (GA4). With the forced migration deadline to GA4 quickly approaching, this integration allows publishers to continue measuring their performance in the same way as Universal Analytics (UA). This development ensures a seamless transition for publishers when UA is permanently retired. Let’s dive deeper into the details of this update and understand how it benefits publishers.
The integration of AMP support in GA4 is a significant step for publishers who heavily rely on AMP to enhance user experiences. AMP has been instrumental in helping publishers, regardless of their size, deliver fast-loading and engaging content to their readers. With the retirement of UA on the horizon, this integration becomes critical for publishers who choose to use AMP and want to continue tracking their metrics within GA4.
Google recognizes the importance of a smooth transition for publishers and has rolled out AMP support in GA4 just days before the GA4 migration deadline. This timely update ensures that publishers using AMP can seamlessly track their performance when GA4 permanently replaces UA.
