Glossary: Page View

A page view is recorded each time a page or screen loads for a visitor, whether that’s a landing page, docs page, or in-app screen. It’s one of the most basic units of web analytics, used to gauge how much content is being consumed.

Examples

• A visitor loading a project’s homepage generates one page view.

• Refreshing a page or navigating back to it counts as an additional page view.

• A dApp with a single-page app architecture tracks page views as route changes rather than full reloads.

FAQs

Is a page view the same as a visit?

No. A single visit can include many page views if a visitor browses multiple pages.

Do page views count bots?

Raw page view counts often include bot traffic unless bot filtering is applied.

How do page views relate to a blockchain app?

Page views show which website routes or screens load; they do not measure wallet connections or successful contract actions. Pair them with defined app events when analyzing the path to an onchain outcome.
