What are Google Analytics Page Views?

[yusra]

As a new Google Analytics user, I want to better comprehend the page views metric. What exactly constitutes a page view in Analytics? How do page views differ from sessions, users, or unique page views? Why are page views important? How can I leverage page views data to understand engagement and optimize content? Any tips for a beginner?

A pageview is recorded when a user's browser loads a page or when they refresh the page.
Counting: Every time a page is loaded or reloaded, it's counted as a pageview, even if it's the same user doing it multiple times.
