5.1 Measure

Numbers you can take into a meeting.

Page, variant, language, and site cut from the same filtered traffic - before anyone questions the number.

01Filter

Report real visitors first

Bots, datacentres, and instrumentation noise are excluded before KPIs are calculated.

02Cut

Same definitions, four cuts

Page, variant, language, and site views share one metric model so numbers reconcile.

1.0

What each metric actually counts

Unique visitors, impressions, conversions, conversion rate, and time on page - defined the same way in every view.

Rate from people, not hits

Conversion rate is conversions divided by unique visitors, not by impressions.

Invalid traffic never enters the number

Bots and junk are filtered before reporting, so meetings start from a defendable baseline.

PeopleUnique visitors

Distinct people in the period, deduplicated across sessions and devices where identified.

HitsImpressions

Page renders served, including repeat views by the same visitor.

GoalsConversions

Completions of the goal event you define per page, counted once per visitor per period.

RateConversion rate

Conversions divided by unique visitors, not by impressions.

TimeAverage time on page

Median-trimmed active time, excluding backgrounded tabs.

2.0

Real traffic, not raw traffic

Roughly a fifth of landing page traffic in paid channels is automated or invalid. Reporting it inflates impressions, deflates conversion rate, and quietly corrupts every test on the page.

3.0

Traffic and conversion over time

Every chart carries its comparison against the previous period. Test results feed straight into the same reporting layer.

Period comparison built in

Trend charts show the previous period alongside the current one so lift is obvious without a spreadsheet.

Tests and analytics share one layer

Variant readouts and page KPIs use the same filtered traffic definitions.

4.0

Cut the same data four ways

Per page, per variant, per language, per site - plus export when the number needs to leave the product.
