| Metric                                                                | Definition                               |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Total Copy Events**                                                 | Count of text selection and copy actions |
| [**Session Count**](/reference/metrics/funnel/sessions/session-count) | Total number of sessions                 |

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

## Example

Sessions averaged **0.8 copy actions** per visit, with product pages showing higher copy rates.

| Page Type        | Sessions | Avg. Copy Actions |
| ---------------- | -------- | ----------------- |
| Product Pages    | 5,000    | 1.4               |
| Contact Page     | 500      | 2.1               |
| FAQ              | 1,000    | 0.9               |
| Collection Pages | 3,500    | 0.3               |

## How It Works

The Upstack Pixel detects when visitors select and copy text. This behavior often indicates comparison shopping (copying product names or prices), saving contact information, or sharing details with others. It's a high-intent signal for certain product types.

| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| High copy on product pages    | Visitors may be price comparing—add price match messaging |
| Contact info copies           | Ensure contact info is easy to find/click                 |
| B2B product analysis          | High copies may indicate evaluation for procurement       |
| Competitor research detection | Unusual copy patterns may indicate scrapers               |
