Google Analytics Report Delays Followup
I’ve had quite a few people stop by because of the original post on Google Analytics reports delays, so I thought I’d post a quick update.
My experience is that analytics takes longer than the 12 hours they advertise–about three times as long. But then everything seems to catch up pretty well. It may be that they were completely slammed at launch–I don’t know for sure.
What I also noticed that that the “check status” link will give you a false negative report if you have a long first page. For example, the blog page still shows that Google Analytics hasn’t verified the on page code even though the reports have started coming through.
In summary: be patient. A little more patient, and you should be fine.
