Pageviews (PV) is a web analytics metric that counts the total number of times a specific webpage is viewed. It includes both initial page loads and reloads by the same user during a session.
Pageviews are tracked automatically by web analytics tools like Google Analytics. Each time a page is loaded in a browser, it’s counted as one view – even if the same user reloads the page.
If your blog post is viewed 2,000 times in one week – including reloads or revisits by the same users – your total PV for that page is 2,000.
A “good” Pageview number depends on your industry and goals. Content-rich websites may see thousands of Pageviews per article, while niche product pages may perform well with fewer but more targeted views.
A consistently low Pageview count may suggest poor SEO, weak promotion, or lack of audience interest. If users visit but don’t engage further, it may also point to irrelevant or confusing content.
Share key pages through social media, email newsletters, and internal links to drive more views.
