Start tracking
Understand sessions and pageviews
Learn what starts a session and how browser activity is grouped.
Last updated August 20, 2026
Before you start
- A Grometrics workspace
- At least one tracked session in the selected date range
How to do it
- 1
Open Visitors, choose a visitor, and open a session timeline.
- 2
Compare its first page, subsequent pageviews, active time, and session end.
- 3
For a route that changed before the tracker became ready, call window.grometrics.pageview(missedPath) with the saved same-origin path.
- 4
Check a second visit after the inactivity window to see the new session boundary.
What to check
- Navigation events remain inside the active session
- A later return creates a new session without creating a new person
