monthly visits meaning page views or sessions?

I assume this would be sessions not page views?

Visits is the same thing as a session.

It seems GA also does also sample timing hits on their servers: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-timings#sampling_considerations

Did you take that into consideration as well?

Hey. What is this part used for:
'cookieDomain': 'example.com', ?
My analytics.js is hardcoded (not GTM), should I replace the:

<script> . . . . ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-2', 'auto'); <---- replace this? how? ga('send', 'pageview'); </script>
