Increase Session Time

The Increase Session Time goal measures how long visitors stay and engage with your page or website content.

It’s designed to help you test layout, content, or interactive elements that encourage users to explore more, scroll deeper, and spend longer periods interacting with your site.

This goal is especially useful for blogs, landing pages, or content-driven websites where engagement duration is a key performance indicator.

Choose this goal when your objective is to increase visitor engagement and reduce bounce rates. Ideal for:

• Content-heavy or educational pages

• Landing pages or product demos

• Video or multimedia sections

• Interactive tools or dynamic content blocks

• Long-form blog posts or guides

A great choice when optimizing user experience and content engagement before conversion goals like form submissions or purchases.

What It Tracks

Once activated, Humblytics automatically tracks:

• Average session duration per visitor

• Engagement depth — time spent actively scrolling, clicking, or viewing content

• Comparison of average session time between Control (A) and Variant (B)

Works automatically — no manual setup or tagging needed. Humblytics measures real user activity (not idle time) to ensure accurate engagement tracking.

How It Works

1. Visitors are randomly assigned to Control (A) or Variant (B).

2. Humblytics monitors how long users stay active on each version of the page.

3. It calculates average session time per variant.

4. Real-time reports show which version leads to longer engagement sessions.

Common Test Ideas

• Test content length or reading experience (short vs. detailed).

• Experiment with video placement or autoplay vs. click-to-play.

• Try interactive features like accordions, carousels, or quizzes.

• Adjust page structure (single column vs. multi-section).

• Compare different visual or media layouts to maintain interest.

Steps to Set Up

1. Click the Split Testing menu in your Humblytics dashboard.

2. Click Start Creating Experiment.

3. Under Select Testing Goal, choose Increase Session Time.

4. Choose your Experiment and Test Type.

5. Add URLs for Control (A) and Variant (B).

6. Configure Visitor Assignment (allow or prevent overlap).

7. Apply Restrictions (Geo or Audience filters, if needed).

8. Launch your test and monitor session time performance in real time.

By running this experiment, you’ll learn which version keeps users engaged longer, resulting in:

• Higher average session durations

• Deeper content interaction

• Improved user retention and engagement signals
