What is PLS by pageviews per session

PLS by pageviews per session lens measures perceived speed across short and long journeys. PLS (Perceived Load Speed) is Uxify’s real-user metric for how fast a page feels to load.

Sessions with more pageviews typically reflect more engaged users. But if PLS slows down during that journey, it can increase friction and lower conversions.

Should you worry

If PLS remains fast across longer sessions — from 1 pageview to 11+ — that’s a great sign of consistent UX. It means your perceived speed is high no matter how deep the user goes.

Slow PLS for deeper sessions often stems from template inconsistencies, ad loading delays, or cumulative rendering issues. If PLS is poor for short sessions, you may be losing visitors before they even begin exploring.

Resolving unhealthy PLS by pageviews per session

Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy PLS by pageviews per session:

  1. Ask Uxi to analyze your PLS by pageviews per session and suggest improvements.

  2. Use Filters to track slow PLS by page type or acquisition channel.

  3. Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the PLS by pageviews per session. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.

  4. Use an automated optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your PLS by pageviews per session.

  5. Once you’ve improved PLS, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
