Average time on page report

Average time on page estimates dwell time from the timestamps between two consecutive page views.

Average time on page is an estimate based on sequential page-view timestamps rather than perfect direct observation. It works best when readers move through multiple tracked pages in sequence. Single-page bounces limit the calculation because there is no following event to close the timing window cleanly.

  • Use this report to compare relative reading depth across pages, not as a precise stopwatch.
  • Expect bounce-heavy pages to understate time because there is no second event to anchor the calculation.
  • Pair average time with page views and reactions before deciding that a page is truly engaging or weak.
