Sessions report
A session represents one continuous reading period before 30 minutes of inactivity ends it.
Sessions are a better metric than page views when the question is about visit continuity. A reader can create multiple page views in one session, but once 30 minutes of inactivity pass, a new session begins. That makes the sessions report useful for understanding visit patterns without over-reading raw traffic volume.
- Use sessions when you care about distinct reading periods rather than every refresh or navigation.
- Expect a long, active reading sequence to remain one session until inactivity breaks it.
- Pair sessions with page views to understand whether volume growth came from more visits or more pages per visit.
