Whenever someone loads a page of your website or their browser history state is
changed by the active site, an enhanced measurement
event called
page_view is sent from your website to Google Analytics. Since the event is
sent automatically, you don't need to send pageview data to Analytics manually.
However, when you want to manually control how pageviews are sent (e.g.
single-page applications or infinite scrolling), you can disable pageviews and
then manually send them from your website. Learn how to Measure single-page
applications.
This document describes the default pageview behavior and then how to send your
own pageviews manually.
For information about how to measure screenviews on a mobile app, see Measure
screenviews instead.
If you override page_location, the value must start
with the protocol followed by the full URL; for example,
https://www.example.com/contact-us-submitted.

Manual pageviews
When you want to manually control how pageviews are sent (e.g. single-page
applications or infinite scrolling), do the following:
[null,null,["Last updated 2024-10-09 UTC."],[[["By default, Google Analytics automatically sends a `page_view` event whenever a page loads or the browser history changes."],["For single-page applications or websites with infinite scrolling, you might need to manually control how `page_view` events are sent to avoid duplicates or inaccurate data."],["To manually send `page_view` events, first disable the default pageview measurement, and then use the `page_view` event with relevant parameters like `page_title` and `page_location`."],["The `page_view` event includes parameters like `page_title` and `page_location`, which by default are populated with the document title and URL, respectively."]]],[]]
