What is the difference between hits and visits in my stat reports?
|
| ¤ |
Any request made to the server is considered a "hit". A request can be for any object,
an html page, a graphic image, an audio file, a CGI script, etc. So, "hits" are the
total number of requests that were received during the specified report period.
|
| ¤ |
A "visit", on the other hand, is a series of "hits" that are deemed to have come from
the same browser within a certain amount of time. A "visit", therefore, represents
a browser that came to your site for a while and then left.
|
| ¤ |
Each "visit" is composed of many more "hits". For example, when a browser requests one page
on your site, webalizer will report 1 hit for the page request, plus 1 more hit for each image
or other object (flash object, javascript file, etc) that was referenced on that page.
That is why hits are always greater than visits.
|
| ¤ |
Visits are also grouped by time. Webalizer does this by looking at the IP address of the
browser and calculates the amount of time since a visitor's last request (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'.
The default timeout value is 30 minutes and can be changed by you.
So, if a browser visits your site at 1:00PM and then returns at 3:00PM it will be reported as 2 visits.
