Within the pages feature of the statistics module you have 4 sections that deliver you almost all data you need about your website's pages:
If you have even more detailled questions regarding the pages section, please do not forget to check out further articles shown at the bottom of this page.
Set the time
Just right above the views within this feature you will always see a bar which enables you to choose a certain time range or even a day for which the data below should correspond to. It is important to constrain the displayment of data to certain dates or periods in which you ran potential campaigns or took other measures in order to measure how successful these actions were for future planning.
Page Visits
This view provides you with an extensive list of all your website's pages and how many visits each received. The definition of a page visit can be found here. Each bar represents a page within your website. The names are generated automatically from your page title.
A page visit is recorded every time a page is viewed by one of your visitors. Or, more technically, a page view is recorded every time the "tracking action" is executed: when a visitor hits the "back button", a page visit is recorded. When a visitor hits refresh, a page visit is recorded.
This table helps you to understand in depth how the overall traffic of your website is distributed among the single pages of your website.
The horizontal x-axis shows the number of visits per page. The scale of the axis is always generated automatically.
Important hints:
- If you move your cursor across a bar, a hover will appear showing you the exact amount of visits for this page and the percentage of your overall visitors visiting this page – a "46 %" hence means that 46% of your overall page visits have been received on this page.
- At the very bottom of the graph you might find a green icon with the label "See more". Clicking on it, will extend the graph downward displaying yet more pages that were visited by your visitors.
