Changing Site Speed Sample Rate 0 Recommended Answers 5 Replies 2 Upvotes
I have an account with Google Analytics and have linked it with
Monster Insights on our web site. As far as I can tell, everything
is installed and running correctly. My problem is that I am not
seeing any page load timing statistics. We don't get much traffic
and I'm pretty sure it's because the Site Speed Sampling Rate is at
the default 1%. The instructions on how to set it to a higher value
are very confusing...for example:
I have GTM installed, but cannot find a Page Load GTM Tag. I also
have no idea what 'header file' this is referring to.
All you need to do is, Add the below code snippet to
Universal Analytics Code. Which might reside in the header
file if the website if you have directly linked Google
Analytics with your website. Or in the Page Load GTM Tag, if
you are using Google Tag Manager.
ga(‘create’, ‘UA-XXXX- Y’, {‘siteSpeedSampleRate’: 100});
‘UA-XXXX- Y’ – Replace this
with your Google Analytics Tracking ID

Thank you for replying...what is the path in GTM to get to the area shown in your example? It looks to be somewhere in GTM Workspace Variables, but I can't find it.

So I have created the tag and set it up as suggested above, to change the sitespeedsamplerate to 100%. I also set it to trigger on Page View. Clearly I'm missing something because I am still not seeing any page timing statistics.
