It may seem that the GA4 panel, which you will be using entirely in the near future, does not make it as easy as the GA3 panel to access information about your pages. You can create your own dashboard or a customized report with a few editing and reporting techniques. But first, let's look at what these pages mean and how you can access them in the GA3 panel.

Exit Page

Exit pages are the pages that your site visitors last viewed and left the site. For example, if a user is reading your blog content and then visits a product page on your site but leaves your site, your checkout page is the product page.

Here's how you can see Exit pages in the GA3 panel: Select Site Content under the Behavior report. You can access the report when you click on Exit Pages in the drop-down menu.

The Exit page report can give you some insights. If you run a blog or news site, it's perfectly normal to read a single article and then leave. However, if many people are leaving your e-commerce site during checkout, it's a red flag. For example, it can be used to understand poorly performing pages on the site. Or it can give you ideas about whether you have a page that is loading very slowly.

Well, let's see where you can see this data on the GA4 panel. In the GA4 panel, you can follow the exit pages with the Exits metric. In the future, a default dashboard can be added to the panel only for exit pages, but for now, you have to create it manually. First, open an empty Report Template in Explore.

Entrance Page

Entrances pages are where the user begins their journey through your site. But this can be confused with other terms like pageview and session. To clarify, Google Analytics records a page view every time a page is loaded on your website and the tracking code is executed. The number of views a page receives on your site constitutes the pageview metric. This is different from an entrance because it doesn't have to be the first page your user visits. Your Analytics account records as a pageview any page a user visits during a session.

Also, Google Analytics counts one session each time a user visits your website. It logs all the pages they visit and the events they trigger as a single session unless they are active for more than 30 minutes. If they reach the 30-minute inactivity limit, Analytics will save it as a new session the next time they interact with your site.

An entrance resource directs a user to your site. Entrance sources can be paid campaigns, social media posts, or other external sources linked to your site. You can see this data in the GA3 panel as follows:

Select Site Content under the Behavior report. You can access the report when you click on All Pages in the drop-down menu.

Landing Page

The landing page is the web page people come to after clicking your ad. The URL for this page is usually the same as your ad's final URL. For each ad, you specify a final URL to determine the landing page people are directed to when they click on your ad.

Your landing page experience is one of several factors that helps determine a keyword's Quality Score. The experience of a landing page is represented by such things as the usefulness and relevance of the information provided on the page, ease of navigation for the user, the number of links on the page, and users' expectations based on the ad clicked.

You can see this in the GA3 panel as follows: Select Site Content under the Behavior report. You can access the report when you click on Landing Pages in the drop-down menu.
