Unique page views
Is a subset of your total page views, representing the number of individual visitors who have reviewed your pages: Each visitor to your site is counted only once, no matter how many pages they open.
Entrances

Exit Rate
An Exit Rate is the percentage of people who leave after viewing the page. Your exit rate lets you know the last page that users view before they move on. A very high exit rate on a navigation page can be a red flag, but a high exit rate from a publication can also indicate that they have got all the information they require.
Bounce Rate
Your Bounce Rate is the number of visitors who leave your pages in the following ways:
The higher your bounce rate, the lower your percentage of engaged users. This is generally recognised as a bad thing. People are not finding what they are looking for and at taking a step back from the information to look elsewhere.
