Description: The Daily Activity report details the traffic history of the site,
logging hits, visits, pages, and kilobytes transferred for each day.
Please note the following caveats when interpreting this data:
- Hits--every request, whether for an image or a page counts
as a hit. One page with five pictures would generate six hits for each
visit with a graphical browser. It is very important to remember that
Hits != Visitors.
- Visits--it is impossible to completely sure of the actual
number of visitors you have each day, due to proxies, varying cookie
support in browsers, etc., so we have to use a few assumptions. The
assumptions we make here is that any visitor to the site will typically
take less than 30 minutes to read each page. If another request
comes in after that interval passes from the last hit, this is probably
another visit. Because proxies allow users to browse simultaneously,
this number tends to be a bit conservative in most cases, making the
actual count higher.
- Pages--everything but images count as a page request. If
you have a lot of downloadable content on the site, this count could be
inflated.
- KB--all traffic, regardless of the type of content, is counted
in this total, making this an accurate number.
