View URLs in Google Analytics Pages and Screens Report

GA4's Pages and Screens report defaults to the Page title and screen class dimension because page titles are typically more readable than raw URL paths. However, titles are not always unique — two different pages can share the same title — so switching to Page path and screen class gives you more precise, URL-level data for analysis.

Page path and screen class shows only the path portion of the URL (e.g. /products/shoes/), stripping query parameters. Page path + query string includes any URL parameters (e.g. /products/shoes/?color=red). Use page path for a clean, consolidated view; use page path + query string when you need to analyse the impact of URL parameters such as campaign tags or filter selections.

GA4 does not currently save the dimension selection as a persistent default for standard reports. You will need to switch the dimension each time you open the report, or use the Explore section to build a custom exploration that defaults to the dimension and metrics you prefer — which you can save and reuse.

(not set) appears when GA4 receives an event without a valid page path value — this can happen with app screen views, server-side events, or misconfigured tracking. Check your GA4 implementation to ensure the page_location parameter is being sent with every page view event, and verify that your Google Tag or gtag.js snippet is firing correctly across all pages.

Yes — in the Explore section you can add both Page title and Page path and screen class as dimensions in a free-form exploration, letting you see titles and URLs side by side. In the standard Pages and Screens report you can only display one primary dimension at a time.

No — the metrics (views, users, sessions, engagement rate, etc.) stay the same. Switching the dimension only changes how the data is grouped and labelled. If multiple page titles map to a single URL path, you may see the numbers consolidate slightly when switching from title to path view, since what was previously split across titles is now grouped under a single URL.
