Visits/Sessions
A Visit or Session represents a single interaction by a user with a website, typically consisting of multiple page views. A session ends when the user is inactive for a set amount of time (often 30 minutes).
- Session Duration: A session typically includes multiple page views but ends after a period of inactivity.
- Different Tracking Methods: Tools may define sessions differently, so it’s essential to understand how your specific analytics tool calculates them.
- Multiple Interactions: A visit may involve various types of content, including downloads or media streams, even if they aren’t standard web pages.
