Real-Time Google Analytics and Profile Data

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minute

Here is a real-life question we were asked during a recent training:

How come my Google Analytics Profile only shows traffic to a section of the site but Real-Time report shows everything?

An important thing to remember is that the Google Analytics Real-Time Report does not support profile filters. What that means is that it shows all unfiltered traffic at Account-level. You can use content or location tab to apply a report-time filter.
