• Whenever an individual arrives at the website, it is considered as a visit. Even when the same person visits again, it will be counted as the “next” visit.

• Page view tells about the interaction of a visitor with the website. It is the number of pages viewed by visitors on the website.

• Goal Conversion happens when visitors of the website complete a goal (pre set task). Goals need to be set by the business prior.

• Average session duration gives the length of the visit of the user and a low value indicates the website could hold the user's attention.

• Pages per visit gives the number of pages viewed during a visit by the user, helps in assessing the content and ease of access of the website. Higher value of this measure shows a higher user engagement with the site.

• Bounce Rate is the percentage of single page site visits. Bounce rate is not just useful for measuring user engagement, it also helps in understanding when problems exist in the website end.

• Traffic to the website can be mainly from four sources - Direct (users who enter URL directly), Organic (via non-paid results on search engines), Paid (via paid search ads), Display (Traffic sent from Display and Video ads).

• The Web Traffic Sources tells about the channel sources that have generated the traffic.This could help in deciding which channel needs more focus and how further marketing plans should be.

• Understanding the top keywords and modifying the website content to accommodate them is important to drive organic traffic. Also, customers often skim through the website and decide to stay on it after seeing the keywords they used for the search.

• Traffic to the site is given by the number of visits, i.e., sessions. The session vs transaction graph gives a clear picture on how many sessions get converted to transactions over time

• Identifying the most effective campaigns is important for designing future campaigns that could attract more conversions.

• An abnormally high bounce rate is considered a warning that people are leaving the website fast and should be an indicator to check the content and design of the website.

Increasing engagement and conversions is the major goal behind websites. The above analysis helps in analysing the past steps taken towards this goal, thus giving the company a clear picture on the areas to focus for future growth.
