* Metric updates

On July 8th, 2018, we released a change that provides more accurate traffic data in Stores Insights.

Previously, page previews and caching requests from certain websites and apps were being counted in Insights traffic metrics. This is no longer the case.

Due to this change, some Stores may see a decrease in reported traffic metrics when compared to prior dates.


Metrics are available by the following dimensions:

Dimension Definition Available from
Date Date of the visitor’s visit. August 30th, 2017
Page The store page by name. Data for deleted pages, if such exists, is aggregated as “deleted page”. August 30th, 2017
Traffic source The traffic source from which the visitor arrived to the store. December 25th, 2017
