How do you track page views in a Single Page Application?

Tests your grasp of SPA navigation vs. traditional page loads. A great answer explains how SPA routers use the History API (`pushState`) and how to listen for changes to send analytics events. A red flag is suggesting polling the URL.
This question tests your understanding of SPA navigation mechanics beyond just using a framework. A strong answer first contrasts SPA routing with full page loads, then details using the browser's History API (`pushState`, `popstate` event) as the core mechanism. You should explain how to hook into a router's lifecycle to trigger an analytics event on every route change. A major red flag is suggesting an inefficient method like polling the URL with `setInterval`.
