# Duration (Seconds)

Shows how long an access lasted in seconds (in sum). The value is cumulated for all users; therefore, it does not show an average value.

| ## Short Facts |
| --- |
| - [Standard scope](/v1/docs/what-is-the-standard-scope-of-a-specific-dimension-or-metric): *Pages* - [Auto scope in the filter engine](/v1/docs/what-is-the-auto-scope-of-a-specific-dimension-or-metric-in-the-filter-engine): *Pages* |

This metric is usually not used directly in an analysis but for calculating [custom formulas](/v1/docs/custom-formulas).

The page duration of the **last page of a visit** (the exit page) cannot be determined. 30 seconds is used as a default value for the exit page. If you want this value adapted, please contact Mapp Intelligence Consulting. If a link is clicked on the exit page, the time until the click is also considered.

**Example for durations on exit pages with and without click:**

The page duration for the page "product view" is 1:30 mins, because after one minute, the link "Add to Cart" was clicked and afterward within the visit no page was viewed (standard duration avg = 30 sec).

On the page "cart", the page duration is 30 seconds, because on this exit page no link was clicked.
