I want to increase the Sample Rate for Page Timings from 1% to 10% in google analytics.
We are using Global site tag (gtag.js) for adding GA to our site.
Following is current config:
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-123456-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-123456-1');
</script>
As per the doc, the following will capture the user load time, but it won't increase the sampling rate.
// Feature detects Navigation Timing API support.
if (window.performance) {
// Gets the number of milliseconds since page load
// (and rounds the result since the value must be an integer).
var timeSincePageLoad = Math.round(performance.now());
// Sends the timing event to Google Analytics.
gtag('event', 'timing_complete', {
'name': 'load',
'value': timeSincePageLoad,
'event_category': 'JS Dependencies'
});
}
This was solved by setting, gtag('config', 'UA-XXXX-X',{'site_speed_sample_rate': 100})
