Now go to Google Analytics Homepage. You will see this message there, “No data received from your website yet.“. Ignore this message because your website/blog is already tagged by Measurement ID.

Check your Google Analytics account after a day or two, because initially it takes some time to track and collect your website data. Once it will start tracking your site you can check your blog’s analytics in detail like Users, Events Count, Realtime Users, Acquisition Overview, Engagement, Page Views, Organic Searched Keywords, and much more.

    But the tracking ID is not working and I think its location changed. That's why I'm unable to find that 🙁
