High-level metrics
Understanding the key metrics in web analytics is essential for optimizing your website’s performance and user experience. Here are the high-level metrics tracked by Cloudflare Web Analytics:
- Visits - A page view that originated from a different website or direct link. Cloudflare checks where the HTTP referer does not match the hostname. One visit can consist of multiple page views.
 - Page views - A successful HTTP response with a content-type of HTML.
 - Page load time - The total amount of time required to load the page.
 - Core Web Vitals ↗ - Higher-level metrics designed by Google to capture the user experience more completely.
