DoorCounty.com Web Statistics

 

Explanation of Web Stats

The "Visits" report shows the number of visitor sessions—or "visits"—to DoorCounty.com during the specified report period. A visit refers to a series of requests from a uniquely identified client. A visit starts with the first request from the client and remains active as long as the period between subsequent requests from the client does not exceed a set "time-out" period (15 minutes). After a visit "times out", LiveStats counts a request from the same client as the start of a new visit.

 

The "Page Views" report shows the number of successful requests for pages logged during the specified report period. A page is any file - such as a web page, dynamic web page, form - classified as a page by the Virtual Server Administrator.

 

The "Hits" number tracks the number of requests for files - or "hits" - logged during the specified report period. A "hit" is any request on your web server for any file, such as a web page, bitmap, CGI, or header request. For example, if a visitor wants to see a web page containing two images, they must make three hits: one hit for the page, and two for the image files.
