: Google Analytics: How to track the amount of time a particular user has been on site in total and time per session? I need to be able to break down how many users have viewed the site in
I need to be able to break down how many users have viewed the site in total for different time ranges (to include recurring visits), same for per session.
In other words, I'm trying to provide a report that groups users into buckets of time spent on site (to include return visitors) and sessions. The time bands are along the lines of 0 - 10 seconds, 10 - 59 seconds, 1 - 5 minutes, etc.
The solution I've tried to set up a segment with the condition for Time on Page for Sessions/Users per session/user to be greater than 100 seconds for example. Despite the name "Time on Page", does that include other page views? The helper text appears to suggest so, but I'd just like confirmation that this is the correct way of doing it.

You can use the free service "Clicky" which integrates with the GA data and gives you an easy to use breakdown of all users visiting a certain page, with their respective time on that page.
The Time on Page metric is an average of all the page views by the same or multiple users' sessions on that individual page.
What you need is drilldown to just the particular page you are measuring and view the time spent on page metric on there.
Keep in mind that users who go to just one page normally skew that metric. If you want a true count, you should also set up a timer event to trigger if a user spend more than x seconds on a page. This is possible using Tag Manager, and Glenn Gabe posted quite a handy tutorial on how to measure such true page views without considering them as bounces.
