# Total Events: All Tracked Interactions

> Count all tracked events across your site. Use Total Events to monitor overall tracking health and visitor engagement volume.

<Tip>
  Total Events counts every tracked interaction captured by the Upstack Pixel, including page views, product views, add to carts, checkouts, and purchases.

## Formula

<Info>
  **Total Events** = **COUNT** ( All Events )

| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **All Events** | Every tracked interaction captured by the Upstack Pixel |

| Metadata        |                         |
| --------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Type**        | Number                  |
| **Data Source** | [Upstack Pixel](/pixel) |
| **Aggregation** | Count                   |

## Example

Your store tracked **127,450 total events** in July across all event types.

| Event Type         | Count  | % of Total |
| ------------------ | ------ | ---------- |
| Page Views         | 89,000 | 69.8%      |
| View Contents      | 24,500 | 19.2%      |
| Add to Carts       | 8,750  | 6.9%       |
| Initiate Checkouts | 3,450  | 2.7%       |
| Purchases          | 1,750  | 1.4%       |
