Dimensions

Last updated Aug 21, 2026 Dimensions are the labels used to describe different types of metrics or data. For example, Referer is the data collected from external links referring visits to a page, while Browser shows which browsers accessed your website.

Below you can find a list of the different dimensions you can use to filter Web Analytics:

  • Country: The visitor's country.
  • Host: The domain of the site's URL.
  • Path: The links within your site referring visits to a page.
  • Referer: The external links referring visits to a page. You can access referer host data on the dashboard. Additionally, you can access data for the referer path from the GraphQL API.
  • Device type: The device visitors use to access a page (for example, desktop, mobile, or tablet).
  • Browser: The web browser (for example, Chrome, Safari) visitors use to access your website.
  • Operating system: The operating system visitors use to access a page.
  • Site: The website's domain name. Used for high-level segmentation of data. For example, you can use it for a particular zone or gray-clouded website.
  • Exclude Bots: Exclude bot traffic from the dataset. With this dimension set to Yes, the resulting dataset will be a closer representation of real user traffic.
  • Navigation type: Which method was used to load the HTML document. Refer to Navigation types for a breakdown.

Type Cache hit? Explanation
Navigate ❌ The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form but the document was either not found or stale in the browsers HTTP cache, so a network request was made to load the document.
Navigate Cache ✅ The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form and the document was found and fresh within the browsers HTTP cache, so no network request was necessary for the document.
Navigate Prefetch Cache ✅ The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form and the document has been prefetched into the browsers HTTP cache, so no network request was necessary for the document.
Prerender ✅ The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form but the browser had already prerendered the page, so no network request was necessary for the document.
Reload ❌ The visitor reloaded the page but the document was either not found or stale in the browsers HTTP cache, so a network request was made to load the document.
Reload Cache ✅ The visitor reloaded the page and the document was found and fresh within the browsers HTTP cache, so no network request was necessary for the document.
Back-forward ❌ The visitor used the back/forward buttons/gestures in their browser but the previously-loaded document either not found or stale in the browsers HTTP cache OR a feature was used which prevents using the cache (refer to the explanation in Back/forward cache ↗︎), so a network request was made to load the document.
Back-forward Cache ✅ The visitor used the back/forward buttons/gestures in their browser and the document was found and fresh within the browsers HTTP cache, so no network request was necessary for the document.
Restore ✅ The browser was able to restore this page, for example when a tab has been paused due to inactivity.
Soft Navigation N/A The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form but JavaScript intercepted the navigation and made a client-side update instead. Measured via the native Soft Navigation API ↗︎.
Routing APIs N/A The visitor clicked a link or submitted a form but JavaScript intercepted the navigation and made a client-side update instead. Measured via the Navigation API ↗︎ or the History API ↗︎ when the Soft Navigation API is not supported.
