Definition - What does Page View (PV) mean?

Techopedia explains Page View (PV)
Although the two are often confused, a page view is recorded differently than a hit. A hit is simply a request to the Web server for a file, whereas a page view is only counted when the tracking code or script in the page is fully loaded. This means that there may be several hits as a page is loading, but only one overall page view. Page views are important for sites that sell advertising based on the site’s total page views.
