Example
Your store had 85,000 page views and 34,000 product page views last month, giving a View Content Rate of 40%:
| Traffic Source | Page Views | View Contents | VC Rate |
|---|
| Organic Search | 32,000 | 15,360 | 48% |
| Paid Social | 28,000 | 9,800 | 35% |
| Direct | 25,000 | 8,840 | 35% |
How It Works
View Content Rate measures how effectively your site guides visitors to product pages. A higher rate means visitors are finding and viewing products rather than bouncing from landing pages or getting lost in navigation.
When to Use
| Scenario | Action |
|---|
| Navigation optimization | Low VC Rate suggests visitors can’t find products |
| Landing page analysis | Compare rates across entry points |
| Traffic quality assessment | Higher VC Rate indicates more engaged visitors |
| Category performance | Identify which collections drive product views |
| Metric | Relationship |
|---|
| View Contents | The numerator—absolute count of product views |
| Page Views | The denominator—total page loads |
| Add to Cart Rate | Next funnel stage—product views to cart additions |
