User Journeys FAQ

What is a Sankey flow diagram?
A Sankey diagram is an interactive visualization that shows how visitors flow between pages on your site. The width of each flow represents the number of sessions taking that path, making it instantly clear which navigation routes are most popular and where users drop off.
How many steps can a journey path have?
You can analyze paths from 3 to 7 steps. This range covers most user flows while keeping the Sankey diagram readable. You can adjust the step count to zoom in on specific parts of the user journey.
What are Page Groups and how do they help?
Page Groups let you combine similar URLs into a single group using pattern matching. For example, you can group all blog posts (/blog/*) into one node called “Blog” instead of showing each individual post. This makes the Sankey diagram cleaner and more useful for sites with many pages.
Can I create a funnel from a discovered journey path?
Yes. When you discover a popular path in the Top Paths analysis, you can convert it into a Conversion Funnel with one click. This lets you track conversion rates and drop-off points for paths your visitors are already taking naturally.
Can I filter journeys by device, browser, or country?
Yes. User Journey Analytics includes filters for device type, browser, operating system, country, and referrer source. This helps you compare how different audience segments navigate your site and identify segment-specific optimization opportunities.
