How do you track page views in a Single Page Application?
This tests SPA analytics beyond classic page loads. A strong answer covers History API pushState and popstate events, framework router hooks like useEffect or afterEach, and beaconing views. A red flag is relying only on window.load or polling URL changes.
This tests if you know SPAs break page-load analytics and require history-aware tracking. A strong answer names the History API pushState and popstate events, framework router hooks such as React Router useEffect or Vue Router afterEach, and sending beacon or fetch calls to analytics endpoints. It should also mention handling both programmatic navigation and browser back-forward buttons. A red flag is suggesting only a window.load listener or polling location.href without addressing client-side navigation changes.
