Page Categories
Page Categories help you get information about different types of pages on your site. Analytics are organized into page categories on most dashboards, including Traffic and Web Vitals, where page categories are integral to the diagnostics section.

| The Traffic dashboard shows you what types of pages shoppers are viewing the most. |
Page Categories Order
You can add or edit page categories in Settings > Page Categories. Most sites use part of the URL path to define page categories. Here is an example:
The order in which the page categories appear in the list matters only when you have multiple page categories that contain the same words in the URL.
Example:
A site's order confirmation URL is www.mysite.com/checkout/orderconfirmation, and their checkout URL is www.mysite.com/checkout. If the site owner wants to create page categories for both checkout and confirmation, they would have to place the order confirmation page category above the checkout page category.
That's because Yottaa searches for page categories in the order in which they appear on the Page Categories settings page. So if the checkout page category is on top, Yottaa will categorize all the URLs that end in /checkout/orderconfirmation as Checkout pages, rather than Order Confirmation pages, because it will first look for the word "checkout." To avoid this problem, when you have two page categories with overlapping URLs, always put the more complicated URL first.
