| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Total Swipe Events**                                                | Count of swipe gestures on mobile devices |
| [**Session Count**](/reference/metrics/funnel/sessions/session-count) | Total number of sessions                  |

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

## Example

Mobile sessions averaged **6.2 swipes** per visit, with product pages showing high carousel engagement.

| Page Type        | Mobile Sessions | Avg. Swipes |
| ---------------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| Product Pages    | 3,000           | 9.4         |
| Collection Pages | 2,500           | 5.8         |
| Homepage         | 1,500           | 4.2         |

## How It Works

The Upstack Pixel tracks swipe gestures on touch devices. Swipes typically occur on image carousels, product galleries, and horizontally-scrolling content. High swipe counts indicate engagement with visual content.
