Pages & engagement

Choose a page perspective#

Top pages ranks visited paths. Entry pages show where sessions begin. Exit pages show where sessions end. These are separate questions: a popular page can also be an intentional final destination.

Inspect engagement#

Compare visitors, pageviews, bounce and session duration for the same time window. Investigate a landing page by source and device before changing its content. Duration is measured from permitted lifecycle events, so it is an estimate rather than a stopwatch for every visit.

Understand sanitized paths#

Query strings and fragments are removed. Identifier-like, email-like, UUID or long numeric segments may become :id or another redacted path. Private route patterns are blocked. A sanitized path may combine multiple original URLs; do not use it as an exact user identifier.

Find a next action#

1. Select entry pages to find your highest-traffic landings.
2. Filter to an important source or device.
3. Compare exit drop-offs and goal conversions.
4. Build a funnel for the expected next steps.
5. Review permitted recordings or heatmaps for additional context.

API equivalents#

get_pages selects top, entry or exit mode. get_session_engagement returns engagement over time. get_dropoffs ranks exits.
