When a page on the site is visited by 1 visitor, this is counted as 1 page view. This is the equivalent of the older term, “page hit.”

A visit occurs when a single visitor comes to and navigates around the Web site. A visit may consist of multiple page views or just 1 page view. A visit is also called a “Session.” The visit/session persists until 30 minutes of inactivity or 12 hours of continuous activity. After this, it’s considered a new visit/session and new visitor.
