Understanding Page Title Reporting in Google Analytics

If you rely on Google Analytics for monitoring your web application's performance, you might have encountered an unexpected issue: page title reporting suddenly stops working. This can be puzzling, especially if your setup was functioning correctly for a long time.

In this guide, we'll walk through a common scenario where Google Analytics page title reporting fails in Angular applications and provide a solution to get it back up and running.

The Problem

You have a web application built with Angular, and for a significant period, your implementation accurately reported the page titles to Google Analytics. However, one day, it simply stopped working.

Here is a simplified version of your existing implementation:

Your appcomponent.ts is configured to capture routing events and send the current page title:

With this setup, as you navigate through your application, the expected behavior is for Google Analytics to register page views with the correct titles reflecting URL changes.

The Solution

After some troubleshooting, the solution is relatively straightforward: you need to send the page title reporting as a manual event rather than using a gtag config event. Here’s how you can adjust your implementation to resolve the issue.

Updated Code Implementation

Replace the block in your appcomponent.ts that sends the page title:

Explanation of Changes

Manual Event Reporting:

By changing the method from gtag('config', ...) to gtag('event', 'page_view', {...}), you are explicitly sending an event for Google Analytics to register instead of a configuration update.

Page Title Accuracy:

The page_title: event.urlAfterRedirects parameter ensures that the title reported corresponds accurately to the current page, aligning with user navigation.

What to Expect

After making these adjustments, all page title changes should correctly report back to your Google Analytics dashboard, allowing you to effectively track user engagement with various parts of your Angular application.

Final Thoughts

Issues like sudden failures in reporting can be frustrating, but with a little troubleshooting, it's often possible to find a simple fix. By understanding how Google Analytics interacts with your application and being ready to adapt your code as needed, you can maintain comprehensive insights into your users' experiences.
