Check out the top of this page, first section provides the steps to add GA4 to your site.

By default the plugin includes the auto parameter in the tracking code:

ga('create', 'GA-123456789000', 'auto');

However some tracking techniques (such as Site Speed Sample Rate) require replacing the auto parameter. To do it:

First disable the auto parameter by adding the following code to WordPress functions or custom plugin:

// GA Google Analytics - Disable auto parameter function ga_google_analytics_enable_auto($enable) { return false; } add_filter('ga_google_analytics_enable_auto', 'ga_google_analytics_enable_auto');

Now that auto is disabled, you can replace it with your own parameter(s). For example, to implement Universal Analytics Site Speed Sample Rate, enter the following code in the plugin setting “Custom Tracker Objects”:

{'siteSpeedSampleRate': 100}

Save changes and done. The resulting tracking code will now look like this:

ga('create', 'GA-123456789000', {'siteSpeedSampleRate': 100});

So can adjust things as needed to add any parameters that are required.
