Description
The number of sessions that began on your website or application.
A session is a period of time during which a user interacts with your website or app.
A session initiates when a user either:
Opens your app in the foreground
Views a page or screen and no session is currently active (e.g. their previous session has timed out)
By default, a session ends (times out) after 30 minutes of user inactivity. There is no limit to how long a session can last.

Why it is important
By understanding how many sessions are initiated, you can assess the effectiveness of your app or website in capturing user attention. This information helps in making decisions to optimize user experience, content, and overall performance.
Formula
Number of Sessions
Calculation example
Over the course of a day, your e-commerce website had 500 instances where users interacted by opening the app or viewing a page. In this scenario, the number of Sessions for that day would be 500.
