Average Session Time

Definition: The average session time for websites is the amount of time that a user spends on a site during a given visit.

Why is this metric important?

The average session time is important because it is a key metric for determining the engagement of a website. If the average session time is low, it means that users are not spending much time on the site and are not engaged with the content. This can be a problem because it can lead to a high bounce rate, which is the percentage of users who leave a site after only viewing one page.

A high bounce rate can be damaging to a website because it indicates that users are not finding the site useful or relevant. Therefore, it is important to try to increase the average session time on a website in order to improve engagement and reduce the bounce rate.
