Short answer
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is Google's event-based analytics platform that replaced Universal Analytics. Instead of organizing data around sessions and pageviews, it records every interaction as an event with parameters, which allows websites and apps to be measured in one property and supports more flexible analysis of user journeys across devices.
