Page
The page call lets you record your website's page views with any additional relevant information about the viewed page. Many destinations require the page events to be called at least once every page load.
The RudderStack JavaScript SDK
includes a page call in its snippet just after the rudderanalytics.load
method.
Sample Payload
A sample payload of a page call with most of the Common Fields removed is as shown:
{ "type": "page", "name": "Home", "properties": { "title": "Home | RudderStack", "url": "http://www.rudderstack.com" }}The corresponding event that generates the above payload via the JavaScript SDK is as shown:
rudderanalytics.page("Home") The SDK automatically gathers the page name and url and passes them into
the event payload.
Page Fields
Apart from the Common Fields, the page call accepts the following fields:
| Field | Type | Presence | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | String | Optional | The name of the page. |
properties | Object | Optional | Includes the properties of the page such as the url, referrer, etc. For more more information, check the Properties section below. |
Properties
Properties are additional information that describe the viewed page.
RudderStack has reserved some standard properties listed in the table below and handles them in special ways. For instance, the path should always be the URL path of the page and the referrer should be the URL of the previously viewed page.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | String | The page name. This is a reserved property for future use. |
path | String | The path component of the page URL. |
url | String | Full page URL. RudderStack first looks for the canonical URL. If it is not present, RudderStack uses the component from the DOM API. |
title | String | The page title. |
referrer | String | The full URL of the previous page visited by the user. |
search | String | The query string component of the page URL. |
keywords | Array | A list or array of keywords describing the page. These keywords are similar to the collected. |
