The Hidden GA4 Disasters
Happening Right Now
These critical configuration problems are silently breaking your data:
Data retention set to 2 months (your historical data is disappearing and you don't know it)
Cross-domain tracking completely broken (your funnel looks like swiss cheese)
PII leaking into URLs (hello, compliance problems)
Payment processor spam inflating your referral traffic
Attribution windows set wrong (your conversion data is meaningless)
"I've seen businesses make big decisions based on GA4 data that was fundamentally broken. The worst part? They had no clue because GA4 doesn't exactly make it obvious when things are wrong."

Why This Tool Exists
I'm Brie E Anderson, an analytical nerd with a soft spot for strategy. I built this after getting tired of manually checking the same GA4 settings over and over in client settings reviews.
Speaking on stages and sharing knowledge worldwide
After working in GA4 for more than 4 years and doing dozens of settings reviews, certain patterns became obvious. Most GA4 setups have the same handful of critical configuration problems—and most people never discover them because they're buried in settings that rarely get visited.
This tool automates some of the settings checks I do manually in every GA4 audit. It's not meant to replace a comprehensive GA4 property analysis/audit, but it catches the common configuration issues that silently break your data.
