Content Helper: Add engaged time filter

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Customer request: show me what content keeps people on our site
This customer said they need help identifying what keeps people on their site. They want to know which posts people are reading for the longest time, and which posts keep people on site longest / get them to read other content.

The two metrics that do this:
1 ) engage time
2) recirculation rate (out of scope)

Acceptance criteria
Customer can filter the sidebar data by engaged time (new) instead of only page views (old).

The API provides a host of engaged-related metrics (related page here). No recirculation data at the moment.

Questions that come to mind:

  1. Which of the engaged metrics would we like to use?
  2. While the sidebar is mentioned in this issue, the Dashboard Widget is probably a good candidate for that feature?

Yep, recirculation would need to be added to the API.
I suggest we use avg_engaged (Engaged minutes spent by total visitors)
and agreed that it would be good for both the sidebar and the widget

Recirculation is out of scope. Adding avg_time has been done for:

  • Dashboard Widget
  • Performance Details pane (PCH Sidebar)
  • Top Related Posts pane (PCH Sidebar)

Closing this issue as implemented per the work done in #1876 and #1898.
