Google has expanded its newly launched 24-hour data preview in Search Console by adding options export hourly performance data.
This improvement comes in response to user feedback since the initial rollout of the feature.
The post, shared on LinkedIn, stated:
“Last month we announced 24-hour display in Search Console performance reports and we’ve received a lot of positive feedback and feature requests. Today we make the export button available for that view (one of the most requested features): the ability to export data on an hourly basis for the last 24 hours. Enjoy the new data!”
This update allows users to access detailed site performance data over the last 24 hours, broken down by hour, and export it for further analysis.
Key details about the 24-hour data view
The 24-hour data view, introduced in December, is an upgrade to the Google Search Console performance report.
It aims to provide near-real-time insights into the performance of website content on Google Search, Discover and News.
Fresher, faster data
With 24-hour visibility, website owners no longer have to wait up to 48 hours for performance metrics to update.
Data for clicks, impressions, average click-through rate (CTR) and average position are now available with minimal latency.
This feature is useful for tracking the early performance of newly published content or tracking the immediate impact of updates on existing pages.
It provides timely insights into which search queries are driving traffic and how pages are ranking in search results.
Hourly division
The 24-hour view includes a breakdown of hourly performance metrics displayed in the overtime chart.
While data is updated as it becomes available, Google notes that incomplete data is marked with a dotted line in the interface to indicate ongoing collection.
You can filter data by query, page or country and analyze performance within their local time zone, as determined by browser settings.
How the export feature enhances the 24-hour view
Adding an export button to the 24-hour view addresses one of the most requested features from users.
With this feature, you can now download hourly data for the past day, allowing for deeper analysis via external tools such as Excel or Google Sheets.
This enhancement is expected to help companies better respond to performance trends and optimize their content strategies.
Why it matters
By making website metrics more accessible and timely, Google helps marketers and SEO professionals stay competitive.
To access the 24-hour view, you can go to the performance reports section of Search Console and select the “24-hour” tab. The export button is now available to all users who have access to this feature.
As the rollout continues over the coming months, this update highlights Google’s broader commitment to providing real-time tools that improve website performance monitoring and optimization.
