Pages per visit is a broad measure of how compelling users find the content on a website and how well it is arranged for navigation.

Techopedia Explains Pages Per Visit (Pages/Visit)

A larger number of pages per visit generally means that the content on a given Web page is good and the related content – the other links on the page – is relevant and interesting enough to warrant a second, third or fourth click. A low number of pages per visit may suggest that either the content is lacking or the ability to navigate easily between content is hampered by the website's overall design/organization.
