Total Visits

Total visits is the sum of visits to a website. This foundational metric measures website traffic and provides insight into a website’s reach.

Calculation

Similarweb calculates a visit (session) for a website when a visitor accesses one or more pages. Subsequent pageviews are included in the same visit until the user is inactive for more than 30 minutes. If a user becomes active again after 30 minutes, that counts as a new visit. A new session will also start at midnight.
