| How to 'decipher' the statistics generated by Webalizer ? |
To check the individual detailed statistics for each domain/sub-domain you must click on the Traffic Stats icon. Once you choose the domain/sub-domain to check a new page will load with detailed information for the traffic generated by the site visitors. There are several terms you must be familiar with in order to understand what those statistics mean:
Hits - indicate the number of requests made to the and logged by the server; the requests can be for images, scripts, files, i.e. web-content, each successfully logged request is considered a hit
Files - represents the number of files displayed to a visitor, this includes all files related to the site and visible to the visitor (html files, php files, images, audio/video files)
Pages - this statistic counts the number of pages viewed by the visitors. In general everything with extension .html / .htm / .php / .cgi is considered and counted as a page. Unlike the Files counter the Pages statistic does not count images, audio/media files but only web-pages (regardless of the content displayed by them).
Sites - display the number of Unique IP addresses that visited the site. Please note that this does not display the number of unique individual users but only the number of Unique IP addresses. For instance visitors that are behind a NAT will be counted as one Unique IP since they all have the same IP address.
Visits - an attempt to estimate and approximate the possible number of Unique individual users that have visited the site. This is done by comparing the time of the current visit with a pre-defined value and if the difference is higher than 30 minutes (by default) than this is counted as a Unique individual visit. Please note that this value is just a mere approximation available for convenience it is not an exact count of the unique individuals that have visited the site since such statistical information cannot be obtained by just HTTP protocol.
