Page view

A page view is counted each time someone loads one of your web pages in a browser. Analytics tools like Google Analytics use page views to measure how often people look at your content. The more times a page loads, the more page views it records. If the same person refreshes the page or comes back to it later, each load counts as another page view, which is why page views tell you how often pages are viewed rather than how many separate people visited. To understand visitor numbers, you’d look at users or sessions instead.
