Users and Page Views
How We Track Users
A user is anyone who visits your website.
Each time a user lands on a page, an event is triggered, recording a page view. This allows Absolute Analytics to accurately track user visits and engagement across your site.
What Are Live Users?
Live Users are visitors who have been active on your website within the last 90 seconds. A user is considered active if they are engaging with the page—this includes scrolling, clicking, moving the mouse, or interacting with content.
This metric, displayed on the Real-Time Dashboard, helps you monitor active traffic in real-time. Tracking live users allows you to:
Identify traffic spikes and surges.
Detect and respond to issues like slow load times or high drop-off rates.
Optimize content and engagement strategies based on real-time visitor behavior.
Page Views
A page view is recorded each time a user visits a page on your site.
Live Page Views: The number of times a page has been viewed in the last 90 seconds. If a user remains on a page for more than 90 seconds but continues engaging (scrolling, clicking, or moving the mouse), their page view remains "live."
If a user refreshes or revisits a page, it is counted as a new page view.
Tracking page views helps you understand how users interact with your content:
High page views may indicate engaging, relevant content.
Sudden drops in views could suggest content fatigue, shifting audience interests, or technical issues.
By analyzing page views alongside other engagement metrics, you can make informed decisions to improve user experience and content performance.
