Conversion rate is the percentage of sessions in which visitors have performed a desired action, such as completing a purchase, downloading an ebook, or subscribing to a newsletter. You calculate this rate by dividing the number of conversions by the complete number of those sessions.

You can calculate conversion rate across a whole website or for specific pages.
In this example, we will compare the site-wide conversion rate with an individual Landing page :

Total number of sessions on a website – 3000

Total number of sessions on a landing page – 200

Conversions – 10

Conversion rate for entire website will be – 0,33%

and for the landing page responsible for creating the conversions – 5%
