Pages Per Session is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the average number of pages a user views during a single session on a website. A session represents the period during which a user actively engages with the site, and repeated page views are included in the count. This metric helps gauge user engagement, the effectiveness of site navigation, and the overall appeal of the website’s content. Higher pages per session typically suggest that visitors find the content compelling and easy to explore, while lower values may point to navigational issues or unengaging material.
