Navigation Type

Navigation Type is a RUM metric that indicates how a user arrived at a page. Common types include Maps (e.g., clicking a link), reload, and back_forward (using the browser's back/forward buttons). This data can be useful for understanding how performance differs for first-time navigations versus a page being served from the back/forward cache.
