Hi people,

I have always been thinking that sessions means page views. But actually it seems they are two completely different things, because their numbers at Google Analytics are always very different from each other. Could somebody please explain what exactly sessions are? Page Views are the total number of pages loaded for a particular time, right? And sessions?
 
A session is defined as a group of interactions one user takes within a given time frame on your website. Google Analytics defaults that time frame to 30 minutes. Meaning whatever a user does on your website (e.g. browses pages, downloads resources, purchases products) before they leave equals one session.
