What Scroll Depth Simulator does, with a checked example
This is a simulation tool for scroll depth, the metric for the share of sessions that scroll past a given point of a page. You type percentage data, such as how many sessions reach 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the page, and it draws a mock page layout with engagement bands that show where the audience thins out and, between bands, where most sessions stop. The usual point of confusion is whether the numbers are cumulative (sessions reaching a depth) or incremental (sessions stopping inside a band); scroll-depth reports conventionally use the first reading. The tool renders what you enter, nothing more.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
25%: 87, 50%: 63, 75%: 40, 100%: 19 (percent of sessions reaching each page depth)
->
Expected output
A mock page with four engagement bands. 87% of sessions reach 25% depth, 63% reach 50%, 40% reach 75%, and 19% reach the bottom. The derived drop-off between adjacent bands is 24 points (25% to 50%), 23 points (50% to 75%), and 21 points (75% to 100%), so the 25%-50% zone is where the largest share of sessions stop scrolling, and at most 40% of sessions see content below the 75% line.
Each entered value becomes a band at that page depth with the retention share attached, and the gaps between bands are the arithmetic differences of the inputs (87-63=24, 63-40=23, 40-19=21), so the largest gap marks the zone where the most sessions stopped. The rendering cannot be more accurate than the typed values.
