Understanding Your Metrics
Sessions vs Page Views
- Sessions: A session is a group of user interactions that take place on your website within a given time frame. A single session can contain multiple page views.
- Page Views: The total number of pages viewed. Repeated views of a single page are counted.
Example: If a customer visits your home page, then a product page, then the cart page, that counts as:
- 1 Session
- 3 Page Views
Bounce Rate
Bounce rate is the percentage of sessions where the user left your site without interacting further.
| Bounce Rate | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0-25% | Excellent – Users are highly engaged |
| 26-40% | Good – Normal for most stores |
| 41-55% | Average – Room for improvement |
| 56-70% | Needs attention – Consider UX improvements |
| 70%+ | High – Investigate potential issues |
Tip: A high bounce rate on product pages might indicate pricing issues, poor images, or slow loading times.
Percentage Changes
The percentage shown next to each metric compares:
- Current Period: Last 30 days
- Previous Period: 30 days before that
A green upward arrow indicates improvement, while a red downward arrow indicates decline.
Note: For bounce rate, a decrease (lower percentage) is actually an improvement!

Troubleshooting Dashboard Issues
No Data Showing

- Check that your Measurement ID is configured
- Wait 24-48 hours for data to populate (new installations)
- Verify in Google Analytics Realtime that events are being received
Activation Banner Keeps Appearing
If the activation banner shows even after activating:
- Make sure you clicked Save in the theme editor
- Check if you have multiple themes and activated the correct one
- Verify the Analyzely app embed is toggled ON
