Description
The page method tracks the visitor's current context on a website. This context is used for both analytics ("track the number of views to the checkout page") and targeting ("run this experiment on the checkout page").
Specifically, pushing a page has two effects:
- Optimizely Web Experimentation will track a pageview event for this page, incrementing the count of views to that page in analytics and recording the event in the user's behavioral profile.
- Any campaigns targeted to this page will be activated.
Pages can be created visually in Optimizely Web Experimentation with URL targeting, but this API call allows you to manually activate a page. This allows full flexibility for sites with dynamic content or challenging URL patterns.
Page information is reset whenever the browser reloads.
