What is Engagement Rate?
Engagement rate measures the percentage of sessions where users had meaningful interactions, clicking, scrolling, watching videos, or spending significant time on content. In GA4, an "engaged session" lasts 10+ seconds, has 2+ page views, or includes a conversion event.
Why Engagement Rate Matters
Engagement rate replaces bounce rate as the primary quality metric in GA4. It provides a more nuanced view of content performance, a user who reads a blog post for 3 minutes without clicking anything still counts as engaged.
