Morphology

site + visit

The meaning 'an instance of a user visiting a website' is directly compositional from 'site' (website) + 'visit' (an occasion of visiting); the noun-noun combination follows a common English pattern so the sense is predictable. While 'site visit' can also refer to visiting a physical site in other contexts, in web-analytics contexts the constituents and cross-linguistic equivalents make the intended meaning clear to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

Site visit for the web comes from thinking of a website as a place and a visitor arriving to look around the pages. So, a 'site visit' means one recorded visit or session to a website.
