Number of Visits Overall traffic to the website; this can be segmented to identify visits from different devices and comparisons drawn across other key metrics.

Conversion Number of completed success events, such as purchases or completing forms; this ultimately drives revenue.

Visitor Sources This identifies how visitors found the website, such as via paid or organic search, marketing campaigns, partner or affiliate sites, or direct entry.

Time on site The amount of time users spend on the site; when correlated with conversions and other events, this indicates how effectively the site is designed for helping users accomplish their goals.

Bounce rate Number of visitors to leave the site after viewing only a single page; this indicates whether the site is relevant to visitors.

Content viewed Specific pages viewed; this shows which content resonates most with visitors. Content that has low rates may not be relevant or have a problem, and popular content should be leveraged and expanded upon.
