Sessions are a single visit to your website while page views represent each time a visitor opens an individual page. There is an essential distinction between sessions and page views. Page views are purposeful and usually indicate that a user is at least a little interested in what you have to offer. However, even if a user lands on your website and bounces a few seconds later, it will count as a single session. However, single sessions are helpful as an indication of your success in driving traffic to your site. Page views are a better indication of your success in keeping them there.
