The `page` method tracks the visitor's current context on a website. This context is used for both analytics ("track the number of views to the checkout page") and targeting ("run this experiment on the checkout page"). See [Pages and URL targets](docId\:SLF-avIbJk1qR9hh8NU8_).

Specifically, pushing a page has two effects:

- Web Experimentation tracks a pageview event for this page, incrementing the count of views to that page in analytics and recording the event in the user's behavioral profile.
- Any campaigns targeted to this page will be activated.

Pages can be created visually in Web Experimentation with URL targeting, but this API call lets you manually activate a page. This allows full flexibility for sites with dynamic content or challenging URL patterns.

Page information is reset whenever the browser reloads.
