 * Hey, just checking one thing. Is it normal if Site Kit stats show a little late
   after new visits, or should they update almost instantly?

 * Hello @lindsay65, thanks for getting in touch. I’d be happy to help you with 
   your query about delayed data in your dashboard.
 * Site Kit uses the [Google Analytics Data API](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1),
   which won’t display data in real time, or as fresh compared to [analytics.google.com](http://analytics.google.com/),
   although there shouldn’t be a large difference as data is shown up to the previous
   day. You’ll find more more about how fresh data is by visiting [this guide](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11198161?hl=en).
 * This isn’t uncommon that data won’t match exactly as it appears within Site Kit.
   Unfortunately there is no way to speed up the data, given it would require changes
   to the API in use, which is outside of our control.
 * Let me know if you have any questions with the above or if you feel the data 
   is much more out of date than it should be and I’ll be happy to troubleshoot 
   this further with you.
