What
is the difference between 'HITS' and 'FILES'?
HITS is the total number of HTTP requests that the server
received during the reporting period. Any request made
to the server is considered a hit. FILES is the number
of hits that actually resulted in something being sent
back to the user, such as an HTML page or image.
Why
don't the daily visit totals add up to the monthly total?
You cannot add up the daily visit totals and compare
them to the monthly total, they are different reporting
periods. For example, if someone visits your site at
11:45pm and stays until 12:15am, the monthly total would
show one visit, while the daily totals will show two
(one for each day).
Visits
Whenever a request is made to the server from a given
IP address (site), the amount of time since a previous
request by the address is calculated (if any). If the
time difference is greater than a pre-configured 'visit
timeout' value (or has never made a request before),
it is considered a 'new visit'.
KBytes
The KBytes (kilobytes) value shows the amount of data,
in KB, that was sent out by the server during the specified
reporting period.
Note:
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes
Sites
Each request made to the server comes from a unique
'site', which can be referenced by a name or ultimately,
an IP address. The 'sites' number shows how many unique
IP addresses made requests to the server during the
reporting time period.
Pages
Pages are, well, pages! Generally, any HTML document,
or anything that generates an HTML document, would be
considered a page. This does not include the other stuff
that goes into a document, such as graphic images, audio
clips, etc... This number represents the number of 'pages'
requested only, and does not include the other 'stuff'
that is in the page. What actually constitutes a 'page'
can vary from server to server. The default action is
to treat anything with the extension '.htm', '.html'
or '.cgi' as a page.
Top
Entry and Exit Pages
The Top Entry and Exit tables give a rough estimate
of what URL's are used to enter your site, and what
the last pages viewed are.
User
Agents
Type of browsers that clients are using to access the
site.
