Page opened

This event tracks when a user opens a page, either by clicking a link or typing a URL in the address bar.

The key difference between this event and the Tab URL changed event is that the latter triggers when the URL changes without reloading the page, which is common in single-page applications (SPAs).

And unlike the Tab opened event, which triggers when a new tab is opened, the page opened event fires every time a page is accessed, even within the same tab.

Automatically tracked

The SDK automatically tracks this event when a user accesses a page.
