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
