The page report uncovers how traffic is distributed across your site. It’s a report that you’ll likely spend a significant amount of time examining, as it highlights the content that is most popular among your visitors.
The report is based on two key elements that describe a web page: the page URL and the page title. Most pages have a unique title, although there might be cases where multiple pages share the same title. For example, all broken links may have the same page title, such as a 404 error page. On the other hand, the page URL is always unique for each web page. So, as you review the reports, it’s important to note that there may be differences between these two categories.
