Page

The page call lets you record your website’s page views with any additional relevant information about the viewed page. Many destinations require the page events to be called at least once every page load.

The RudderStack JavaScript SDK includes a page method in its snippet just after the rudderanalytics.load method.

Sample payload

Here is a sample payload of a page call after removing the common fields:

{
  "type": "page",
  "name": "Home",
  "properties": {
    "title": "Home | RudderStack",
    "url": "http://www.rudderstack.com"
  }
}

The corresponding event that generates the above payload via the JavaScript SDK is:

rudderanalytics.page("Home")

The JavaScript SDK automatically gathers the page title and url and passes them into the event payload.

However, note that the HTTP API or the server-side SDKs do not automatically capture these properties.

Page fields

Apart from the common fields, the page call accepts the following fields:

Properties

Properties are additional information that describe the viewed page.

RudderStack has reserved some standard properties listed in the following table and handles them in a special manner. For instance, path should always be the URL path of the page and referrer should be the URL of the previously viewed page.
