    As of version 1.170.0, Site Kit now includes data for the current day in the dashboard. Since this update, some users have noticed that new visits don’t appear right away or that there is a delay in their metrics for the current day.

    If you’re wondering why dashboard stats seem slightly delayed, it’s normal. This happens because of standard processing times and how often we refresh your data:

    • Processing time: Data surfaced on the dashboard is subject to processing before it is available for reporting in Google APIs. This means data for the current day in Site Kit is usually a few hours behind the latest metrics.
    • Hourly updates: Site Kit fetches fresh data approximately once per hour. It does not refresh every time you load the page.

    We are also working on updating the dashboard to make this more clear in the near future.
