Visits / hits / total hits

[Sylvain]

Hello
Can someone explain me the diferences between visits, hits and total hits.

thank you very much

Visits = total number of individual visitors (unique IP addresses) that visited your site

Hits = total number of items a browser has requested from your site (pages, images, etc.)

Example:

I open the your home page of your site, which has 5 images on it.

This would count as 1 visit and 6 hits (1 for the page, 5 for the images)

Thank you Thomas.

So what is the difference between hits / and total hits ? (the way to
calculate it )
( i have some stats for example with 10 hits one day and a total hits of
50 , the day before the total is higher, so that's probably not )

I have a subsite with, some days 0 visits and, for ex 10 hits. How can it
be possible ?

thanks again for your help

Total hit should be the total for all hit in a given time period.

What stat application is your web host using, does it have a help section that explains the stats?

I thought it was so, but i don't understand then why the total hits count
is different to the hits for a daily report.

I'm just using sharepoint designer reports for a wss site.

i've been asked for unique visitors number and page views / visits and i
don't manage to find it.

thank you very much

You might try the sharepoint designer newsgroup, or wss group.

Have you looked at installing Google Analytics on your site? You can do this
in a couple of minutes for free
www.google.com/analytics

It will give you the data you need and a lot more besides.

Cheers,
Jon
