Event Tracking
Virtual Pageviews
• “Track clicks from users that do not
lead to actual website pages on your
site”
• Equivalent to generating a new page
When to use Virtual Pageviews
• A website has a one-page checkout process,
meaning the URL does not change after
visitors make a purchase.
• User wants to track the steps in a goal flow
and these are not built-in as regular
pageviews.
Which is better?
