Metrics explained
Every number in your dashboard comes from your real events. Nothing is sampled.
- Users
- The number of unique visitor IDs in the period. The ID is a one-way hash that changes every day, so the same person coming back on a different day counts as a new user in a longer date range.
- Sessions
- One visit: the pageviews of the same visitor, grouped together. A session ends after 30 minutes without activity.
- Pageviews
- How many times pages were viewed, including repeat views of the same page.
- Bounce rate
- Sessions with a single pageview, divided by all sessions.
- Session duration
- The average time spent per session. The time on a page is recorded when the visitor leaves it.
- Active users
- Visitors seen in the last few minutes, shown in Real Time. You can choose a window of 1, 5, 15 or 30 minutes.
- Entry and exit pages
- The page where a session starts, and the page where it ends.
- Events
- Pageviews plus custom events. This is what counts toward your plan’s monthly limit.
Why users are counted this way
To keep your visitors private, Weblytic360 does not store IP addresses and does not set cookies. It builds a visitor ID that cannot be followed from one day to the next. The price of this is that unique users over many days are slightly higher than the true number of people. Sessions and pageviews are not affected. Read more in our privacy policy.
