Reloads

The ‘Reloads’ metric shows the number of times a dimension item was present during a reload. A visitor refreshing their browser is the most common way to trigger a reload.

How this metric is calculated

This metric counts the number of hits where the Page dimension contains the same value as the previous hit.

The concept of a reload applies to the Page dimension regardless of what dimension that you use in reporting. For example, if you use eVar1 as a dimension and Reloads as a metric, the table shows you the number of times that each eVar value was present during a reload (two consecutive page values). It does not show the number of times two consecutive eVar1 values were present.
