Why are sessions less than users?
If you use either a page level dimension (like Page or Page Title) or the Hour dimension in a custom report, the count of Users may be greater than Sessions. To capture the number of sessions in which a given page was viewed, use the metric Unique Pageviews instead of Sessions.
Why are users higher than clicks?
Why do I have more sessions than clicks? This is normal behavior and indicates positive engagement with your website. When a user clicks one of your Google Ads ads and auto-tagging is turned on, we assign a unique click id (gclid value) to that user.
How to see number of users and sessions in Google Analytics?
You can go to Audience and then Overview. Then, you’ll be able to view the number of users and sessions side-by-side. Now, you can take this a step further by going to the Acquisition section, and clicking on All Traffic.

How are sessions different from pageviews in Google Analytics?
The biggest difference is that a user can have multiple sessions, but they would still only be counted as one user. Taking it a step further, one user can log dozens of pageviews across multiple sessions (spanning several days).
How are unique visitors defined in Google Analytics?
“Users” are Google Analytics’ way of defining unique visitors. In fact, up until 2014, the user metric was called “unique visitors” in Google Analytics. Any time a new visitor lands on your website, Google Analytics assigns them a unique ID, or client ID, that’s stored in a cookie in your browser.
When does Google recognize a new user as a visitor?
This user is recognized in GA as a new visitor and a new user. 10 minutes later, the session breaks at midnight, and a new session is started on Day 2. GA sees the same client ID (ID: 123) and knows this is the same new user from before, despite a new session being force-started.
