If your Contentsquare project exceeds >200 million total number of page views, we initiate a sampling method to deliver faster, more accurate metrics.
How Sampling Rates work
- The sampling rate enables our platform to calculate the metric over a dataset of 200 million pageviews.
- The sampling is per user, meaning: all pageviews from a user on the project are either entirely included or entirely excluded.
- Our sampling is consistent, therefore, the data chosen remains the same across queries with the same time range, except when today's data is included in the time range, as today's data is continually changing.
Sampling rate calculation
Sampling rate = 200 million pageviews divided by the total number of pageviews
within the designated time frame for the project.
Examples:
Amount of pageviews | % of sampling |
200M pageviews or lower than 200M pageviews | There is no sampling |
400M pageviews | 50% sampling |
500M pageviews |
40% sampling |
