Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information that directly lists reasons why a website's average session duration might be decreasing. The sources primarily explain how Mixpanel calculates and tracks sessions, but don't explicitly address troubleshooting decreasing session duration.What I can tell you is that Mixpanel allows you to track session duration through the "Session Duration (seconds)" property that's automatically calculated between Session Start and Session End events. This can help you monitor changes in session duration over time Mixpanel Sessions FAQ.To investigate why your average session duration might be decreasing, you would need to: 1. Analyze user behavior patterns in Mixpanel reports 2. Look at changes in page views and user flows 3. Examine if there are changes in the types of users visiting your site 4. Check if there are technical issues affecting user experienceMixpanel's reports like Insights, Flows, and Funnels can help you analyze these factors by breaking down session data by different user segments and behaviors Session Controls in Reports.If you're looking for specific reasons that commonly cause decreasing session duration, I would need additional information sources to provide a comprehensive answer.
