Conversions

Bounces

The ‘Bounces’ metric shows the number of visits that contained exactly one hit. You can use this metric to understand the ratio of bounce to non-bounce traffic you get, to see the top entry pages that cause visitors to bounce, or to see how the total number of bounces trend over time.

Visitors

The ‘Unique visitors’ metric shows the number of visitor IDs for the dimension item. It is one of the most common metrics used when determining traffic, as it gives a high-level overview of the popularity of a dimension item. For example, a visitor can come to your site every day for a month, but they still count as a single unique visitor.

Cart creation

The ‘Carts’ metric shows the number of hits where a visitor added their first product to a cart.

Reload

The ‘Reloads’ metric shows the number of times a dimension item was present during a reload. A visitor refreshing their browser is the most common way to trigger a reload.

Site exits

The ‘Exits’ metric shows the number of times a given dimension item is captured as the last value in a visit. This metric is helpful when you want to understand more about the last thing visitors see before leaving your site. Seeing the last values of a dimension can help you understand and optimize the experience a visitor gets before they leave.

Site entries

The ‘Entries’ metric shows the number of times a given dimension item is captured as the first value in a visit. This metric is helpful when you want to understand more about the first impressions visitors have on your site.
