pageview - A pageview is each time a visitor views a page on your website, regardless of how many hits are generated. Pages are comprised of files. Every image in a page is a separate file. When a visitor looks at a page (a pageview), they may see numerous images, graphics, pictures etc. and generate multiple hits.

Traffic - A visit happens when someone or something (robot) visits your site. It consists of one or more page views/ hits. One visitor can make multiple visits to your site...

"Hits" and "Page Views" are two ways of measuring the activity on a website. Hits are a very technical measurement and has little value to website owners, managers or the marketing team. Hits measure activity from the website server's perspective. Page Views are a much better measurement of a website's activity

The metric of page visits trumps the tally of page views simply on two grounds – firstly, to the lay user, page visits are a more important measure of popularity as they are perceived to represent actual people rather than devices, which is the real case.

Pageview is check all webpages of your website while traffic is user hitting your site.
