Traffic data delays explained
Traffic data delay is inherited from Google, not introduced by Vyera, so a missing 'yesterday' is normal.
The delay in your traffic data is inherited from Google, not introduced by Vyera.
What the delay actually looks like
Search Console typically runs around two days behind, and can revise recent days after they have already been published. GA4 settles over roughly 24 to 48 hours. Because of this, the reliable window for decisions starts a few days back rather than including today or yesterday.
A missing "yesterday" in the Traffic view reflects this pipeline, not an outage. Competitor traffic estimates run on a separate, unrelated cycle, so their timing does not follow the same pattern. See Competitor traffic estimates and their limits.
What it does not do
This delay does not mean your connected data is broken or under-reporting. It settles into an accurate figure once the window has passed; the number simply is not final until then.
