Description
The average number of events per session.
Why it is important
A higher average number of events per session typically indicates increased user activity, helping businesses assess the effectiveness of features, user experience, and content.

This metric guides decisions on optimizing website elements, enhancing user engagement, and tailoring marketing strategies to improve overall website performance and user satisfaction.
Formula
Event Count / Number of Engaged Sessions
Calculation example
Suppose E-commerce Store M had the following data during a specific period:
A total of 2,500 events were recorded on the website.
There were a total of 500 engaged sessions during the same period.

Events per Session = Event Count / Number of Engaged Sessions
Events per Session = 2,500 / 500
Events per Session = 5
