# 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 Visibl 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
