In memory of Universal Analytics · 2005–2023

You don’t hate your data.
You hate opening GA4.

The five stages of opening GA4

Denial. Anger. Explore. Bargaining. BigQuery.

Nobody chose this. Universal Analytics was switched off on 1 July 2023, and the replacement was built for analysts who enjoy data warehouses on weekends.

[01]

Bounce rate? Gone. Then back. Then redefined.

It's “engagement rate” now. Or the inverse of it. Pick a lane, Google.

[02]

To read a report, first build the report.

Open Explore. Drag fourteen dimensions onto a blank canvas. Stare. Repeat tomorrow.

[03]

Your numbers don't add up — on purpose.

Google “thresholded” the rows for your own privacy. The totals are a vibe now.

[04]

Real-time stopped feeling real-time.

Some reports land 24–48 hours later, like a fax from a warehouse.

[05]

Conversion rate: 98.7%.

Congratulations. Or — far more likely — a key event is misfiring and GA4 won't mention it.

[06]

Your top visitor is named (other).

(other). (other). (other). Cardinality limits ate the rows that mattered.

real reviews · lightly paraphrased · painfully accurate

I've used Google Analytics for twelve years. I genuinely cannot find the bounce rate.
Marketing lead, every agency
Opened GA4. Closed GA4. Opened a spreadsheet.

It's not that it's hard. It's that it feels hard on purpose.

I migrated because they deleted the old one. Not because I wanted to.

Meet GA3. The dashboard you missed, with a brain it never had.

[01]

The dashboard is back

Sessions, users, top pages, channels, live visitors — laid out like 2019 and readable at a glance. No Explore. No setup. No blank canvas.

[02]

Just ask

Type the question, get the chart, the answer, and the “so what.” “Why did mobile conversion drop on Tuesday?” — it'll actually tell you.

[03]

It knows your business

GA3 reads your site, products, competitors and industry — so insights mention your checkout, your SKUs, your rivals. Not a generic template.

Ask anything

Your query builder is a sentence

No dimensions to drag, no metrics to memorise. Ask in plain English and GA3 picks the report, runs it, draws it, and tells you what it means.

why did revenue dip last Thursday?

checkout starts flat — mobile payment success fell to 71%.

one day, mobile only — likely a gateway timeout. worth a check.

Realtime

The map is back. The actual map.

GA4 gave you a table of cities. GA3 gives you the dot-matrix of live visitors you actually missed — who's on your site, where, right now.

248 visitors live · 19 countries
Morning briefing

Open your laptop to a paragraph, not a project

Every morning, a plain-English readout of what happened overnight — what moved, what's odd, what needs you. Built before you finish your coffee.

good morning · 08:02

Sessions up +14% overnight, led by organic search. One thing to watch: /pricing bounce climbed to 71% after yesterday’s deploy. Revenue holding at ₹3.2L.

Agents, not menus

Named teammates who watch the numbers for you

Each agent owns a slice — acquisition, conversion, retention, spend — and flags what changed before you think to ask. They learned your business during setup.

from GA4 prison to GA3 in under a minute

Three steps. No tags. No PhD.

1

Connect Google Analytics

One click, read-only. We request the minimum scope and literally cannot modify your data.

2

GA3 learns your business

While you grab coffee, it reads your site, products, competitors and industry — and builds the context.

3

Open the dashboard. Ask anything.

The view you missed, the answers you need, and a briefing waiting for you every morning.

Questions, reasonably asked

Is this made by Google?

No. Lovingly unaffiliated. Google Analytics is Google's; the nostalgia is ours. The name GA3 is a wink at the version everyone misses.

Will it change anything in my analytics?

It can't. GA3 requests read-only access to your Google Analytics data. There is no write path — we couldn't edit a single event if we tried.

Do I need to reinstall any tags?

Nope. If GA4 is already collecting data on your site, GA3 can read it. No GTM surgery, no new snippets.

Where does my data live, and who sees it?

Your analytics data is fetched on demand to answer your questions and never sold or shared. See our privacy policy for the full, boring, reassuring details.

Is GA3 a real product or an elaborate joke?

The name is a joke. The product ships. Connect your account and you'll be asking questions in under a minute.

Stop spelunking in Explore. Bring back the dashboard.
