# Shopify Analytics session measurement improvements Shopify is [changing how Analytics measures sessions]() starting September 21, 2026. The default view focuses on human visitors where the Human or bot filter is available, classifies bot and system traffic more consistently, and includes valid shopper journeys without a standard pageview. Sessions, conversion rate, and other session-based metrics may look different after the update. Shopify says that doesn't necessarily reflect a change in traffic or customer behavior. Orders, sales, and customer counts aren't affected. When comparing reports across September 21, 2026, treat the updated session-based metrics as a new baseline.
