  1. URL: Webpage that you are looking at analytics for
  2. Pageviews: All views to the page in your chosen time frame
  3. Unique Pageviews: The number of visits where a certain page was visited one or more times
  4. Bounce Rate: The percentage of visitors who view a single page on the website and leave
  5. Average time on page: The average amount of time that visitors spend on a given page

To see analytics for all the contents of a folder

  1. Click on a specific folder in the site tree
  2. Click on view and then choose analytics from the sub menu
  3. The stats will be the same as above, but the values will sum up every page in that folder

If you choose the month or year timeframe for a large folder, you may see a sample of the data rather than a full count of the raw data.

At this time, the widget only shows stats for the entire Chapman website and cannot be filtered to show individual sections or pages. You can filter by day, week, month or year by using the gear icon in the top right of the widget.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the analytics or the widgets, please contact your web coordinator.
