How to implement GA4 for attribution that actually works

Fuel GA4 with server-side tracking to optimize site performance and minimize data loss from ad blockers while leveraging client-side tracking to unlock vital capabilities like attribution and remarketing.

No more client-side conundrums

GA4 requires client-side tracking for key functions, but client-side tracking is notoriously susceptible to ad blockers, and it requires instrumenting the front end with performance killing code.

RudderStack gives you GA4's full functionality without slowing your site down.

No more server-side struggles

Server-side tracking is ad blocker resilient and reduces the amount of code required to load client-side. This means faster sites and less data loss, but key GA4 functions don’t support server-side data.

RudderStack always delivers server-side events, even when leveraging GA4's client-side features.
