Thanks for reaching out @scottkerr2. When you mentioned the stats don’t always look updates right away, Site Kit uses the Google Analytics Data API, which won’t display data in real time, or as fresh compared to analytics.google.com.
Is there usually a normal delay before Analytics/Search Console data shows inside WordPress?
Good question. There shouldn’t be a large difference as data is shown up to previous day and in most cases after a few hours. You’ll find more more about how fresh data is by visiting this guide in relation to Analytics. Viewing real time data as it appears from analytics.google.com isn’t an option within Site Kit.
For Search Console, I believe the metrics are similar, displaying data up to the previous day. Within Site Kit, the data should closely match what you see when clicking on the “Source: Search Console” link within the dashboard.
These data isn’t instant or real time, but does display data as fresh as the API’s provide for.
Let me know if you have any questions with the above. Thank you.
As we didn’t receive a response I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist.
