Who can use this feature?
- Available with Enterprise, Advanced, Business, and Free plans; and Mobile add-on.
- Available for admins, architects, and standard users.

Yes! Time on Page measures the time a user spends on each pageview. This allows you to create search criteria around the total time users spend on a page or build metrics that analyze the average, median, min or max time users spend on a page. Additionally, you can measure a user's active or inactive time on a page. 

The example below shows how to search for users who spent longer than 10 seconds on the Home page.

Note: You're not able to calculate Time on Page when using Visited URL as an Event in the Metric Filters dialog. To calculate Time on Page by URL, you must select Visited Page as the event and then refine the event by Visited URL.

For further context on a Page vs URL, check out our Pages in Fullstory article.

Can I easily see the median time on page for all of my pages?
