The number of app screens or web pages your users viewed per session. Repeated views of a single page or screen are counted.
Why it is important
Tracking the "Views per Session" metric is important for e-commerce stores as it provides insights into user engagement and content consumption patterns.
A higher views per session indicates active exploration of the platform, guiding decisions on content organization, layout optimization, and overall user experience improvements to enhance engagement and potentially drive higher conversion rates.
Suppose E-commerce Platform Z had the following data during a specific period: The platform had 15,000 instances of users viewing various app screens. Users viewed different web pages on the platform, and there were 10,000 page view events. The total number of sessions during this period was 5,000.
Views per Session = (Screen View Events + Page View Events) / Sessions Views per Session = (15,000 + 10,000) / 5,000 Views per Session = 5

Possible causes of worsening
Limited App Content Engagement Users may view fewer screens or pages per session if the app lacks engaging content or if the content fails to capture their interest.
User Interface Complexity A complex or confusing user interface may discourage users from exploring multiple screens during a single session.
