High-level metrics
Understanding the key metrics in web analytics is essential for optimizing your website’s performance and user experience. Here are the high-level metrics tracked by Cloudflare Web Analytics:

- Page load time - The total amount of time required to load the page.
- Core Web Vitals ↗ - Higher-level metrics designed by Google to capture the user experience more completely.
