Google launches its new ’24 hours’ data view in Search Console, enabling website performance monitoring with almost real-time insights.
Google`s new ’24 hours’
Google announced it is adding a new’ 24 hours’ view feature to Search Console; it will be available from performance reports and show up-to-date data with minimum delays.
’24 hours’ view will provide hourly data breakdowns, work across News reports, Search, and Discover, and roll out to all properties in the coming months.

Better performance monitoring
Google says it’s launching the ’24 hours’ view to help site owners monitor recent content performance.
The new feature should do precisely that by providing fresh data and quick insights into which recently published content is performing well. Like other Google performance reports, it uses impressions, clicks, average CTR, and position.
Search Console’s ‘24 hour’ also helps you identify which search queries drive the most traffic to your site, check your page’s recent performance, and organize your data into categories such as country, page, and query.
Hourly granularity data
The ’24 hours’ view also provides hourly reports on an overtime graph, available in Google News, Discovery, and Search results performance reports.
Google says Search Console will provide you with data points the moment it has the data, even if it still needs to finish collecting it for those points. Data that is still being collected will be highlighted using a dotted line.
Local and fresh
All data in the ’24 hours’ view is displayed in the user’s local time zone; Search Console will use the browser’s settings to display data in the current time zone regardless of location.
Google says it has been working to improve the freshness of Search Console data, and the update cuts the average data delay by almost 50%. To learn more about the Search Console ’24 hours’ view, check out the Google Search Central blog.
