Description

The page method tracks the visitor's current context on a website. This context is used for both analytics ("track the number of views to the checkout page") and targeting ("run this experiment on the checkout page").

Specifically, pushing a page has two effects:

Optimizely Web Experimentation will track a pageview event for this page, incrementing the count of views to that page in analytics and recording the event in the user's behavioral profile.
Any campaigns targeted to this page will be activated.

Pages can be created visually in Optimizely Web Experimentation with URL targeting, but this API call allows you to manually activate a page. This allows full flexibility for sites with dynamic content or challenging URL patterns.

Page information is reset whenever the browser reloads.
