Colleagues, tell me how to calculate the time spent on the site, if it is a one-page site and there were no actions on it?

As far as I understand, both Google Analytics and Yandex.Metrica consider time on site to be 0 by default in this case.

Thank you!

Periodically send an AJAX request from the client to the server.

The metric sends pings every 15 seconds, so it will count for a one-pager without any problems.

I'm very curious - why?

In Yandex.Metrica in Webvisor, there is a time measurement on the site. On my one-page site, everything counts perfectly (column "Duration").

Yes, in my opinion, the asynchronous code in both stats already normally sends periodic requests for you))

If time doesn't count, create events on the page (button clicks, links... like "read more" or something like that). If at least one event works, there will be no failure and the time will already be counted.
