I don’t understand the documentation and where it stats events counts as page view. Do you mean if a user views a page that counts as 1 page view and if an event is triggered by that same user this now counts as 2 page views?
Hi Jon,
Which passage do you mean? Could you copy it?
Generally, an event doesn’t create a page view, unless there hasn’t been one created. Usually, you would want an pv/event flow that looks like this:
- Visitor visits page /a
- Event is created on page /a
- Another event is created on page /a
- Visitor visits page /b
- …
If you trigger an event before step 1. or 4., the flow would look like this:
- Create event on /a → implicitly create page view on /a
- Create another event on /a
- Visitor visits page /b
- …
In this case a page view is created for /a in step 1., as it is missing.

See here where it says “Both page views and events count toward your page view limit. When you renew sessions, 10% of the requests are counted against the limit.”
It does not explain exactly how events count towards page views. So if user visits a page that is considered a page view, but if there are any other events triggered on that page say like a Button Click this Button Click event captured does not count against my page views correct?
Both, page view and events count towards your monthly page view limit.
If you send 100 custom events on a single page, that would count as 101 page views towards your limit: 1 page view + 100 events.
You can ignore the session extension part. That’s a bit special and will probably be removed with Pirsch version 3.0.
I hope this helps to clarify
