How do I choose the right time threshold?
Start with what a genuine read takes, thirty seconds for a short page, two minutes for a long one, and adjust once you see real results.
Engagement goal
Separate the readers from the bouncers
A win only counts when someone stays as long as you decide: thirty seconds, two minutes, your call. Skimmers don’t move a business forward; this goal finds the version people actually sit with.
