Interpreting Your Visitor Analytics
To maximize the value of your analytics, grasp the key metrics on your Visitor Analytics page. Understanding these insights allows you to effectively assess website performance, user engagement, and resource consumption.
Here are the essential metrics to familiarize yourself with:
- Visitors: This metric represents the total number of visits to your site, counting both new and returning users. Every time someone accesses your website, it is recorded as a visit.
- Page Views: This refers to the total number of pages viewed by all visitors. It includes instances where a single user views the same page more than once.
