Yes, you can check the time spent on a page by a specific user in Mixpanel, but with some important context: - Mixpanel automatically tracks session duration using the “Session Duration (seconds)” property, which measures the total time a user spends in a session. This property is available on Session Start and Session End events. You can break down or filter this data by user to see how long a specific user spent during their sessions on your site or app Docs: Sessions. - To analyze the time spent on a specific page, you need to be tracking a “Page View” event (which can be set up automatically with the Javascript SDK). You can then use Mixpanel’s reporting features to filter for a specific user and examine their event stream, including timestamps for each page view. However, Mixpanel does not natively provide a direct “time on page” metric for each page view event. Instead, you can infer time spent on a page by calculating the difference between the timestamp of one page view and the next event for that user Docs: Users. - For a more granular, session-level view, you can use the User Profile page to explore an individual user’s event history, including session durations and the sequence of pages viewed Docs: Users.In summary: Mixpanel provides session duration out of the box and allows you to analyze user-level event streams, but calculating exact time spent on a specific page by a specific user may require you to manually analyze event timestamps or set up custom tracking logic.
