USAGE STATISTICS REPORTING
Usage Statistics are available for our customers on a daily basis with more detailed statistics generated on the first of each month. These statistics can be accessed by using the same username and password that you use to upload files to your site. You can view an actual example of usage statistics at http://www.noblehouse.afternet.com/logfiles
The following table summarizes the meaning of the terms used in the usage statistics reports:
| Term |
Meaning |
| Hit |
Any request for a document, script or image which causes the server to respond in some way. If a HTML page is requested this may cause further requests for images or other embedded objects to be sent to the server. |
| Files |
Amount of data sent on behalf of requests for documents, images, applets and all other types of HTML objects (the sum of all Code 200 OK responses). |
| Sites |
Number of unique hosts. Note: While "Sites" denotes the unique sites per day in the
short summary, it reflects the number of unique sites per month in the full summary.
This may cause values in the full summary to be different than those in the short summary. |
| Unique URLs |
HTML pages, images, CGI scripts, applets and all other HTML objects are also counted as unique URLs. |
| KB Requested |
Total amount of data requested. This is the sum of "KB transferred" and "KB saved by cache". |
| KB Transferred |
Total amount of data really sent by the server (the sum of the sizes of all Code 200 OK responses). |
| KB Saved by Cache |
Total amount of data saved by cache because of proxy servers or cache mechanisms in
the user agent. The sum of this value and the data transferred is the number shown in the "KB requested" field.
Because Webalizer can determine the size of a page only if this page has been already transferred at least once
in the same summary period, the numbers shown in the "KB saved by cache" and "KB requested"> fields are only
approximations of the real values. |
| Country |
The country a host resides in if it could be determined by the Internet Country Code.
If the web server couldn't resolve the numerical IP address into a hostname, http-analyze uses this IP address
to account for the total number of unique hosts and then later comprises such hosts under the term "Unresolved".
Usually, the share of unresolved IP addresses on all hostnames is about 15 to 30%. Currently, http-analyze does
not try to resolve numerical IP addresses. |
| Webalizer |
The statistics generated by Webalizer DO allow you to determine the access load of your
web server. They DO NOT allow you to figure out:
- the number of visitors of a page or the server
- page views
- the user's behaviour
- the time a user looks at a page
- the sudden death of the user while looking at your homepage
The HTTP protocol is stateless. You can't figure out when a visitor jumps onto your page and when they leave or why.
