Site Statistics
Many statistics about the usage of your web site are available through
the Site Statistics option in the Control Panel. The statistics
are generated by the http-analyze program, by
Rent-A-Guru.
Note: Though this documentation provides an overview on using the Site
Statistics option, it does not include detailed information regarding
all of the statistics that you can view. For an in-depth explanation of
these, please visit the Http-Analyze web site, located at http://www.netstore.de/Supply/http-analyze/
and follow the link to Documentation.
How to View Your Site Statistics (with Navigation Window)
There are a number of options available on this main statistics menu
page:
-
Statistics for the last 12 months: Shows the web statistics
for the 12-month period ending in the current month.
-
Statistics for <Year>: Shows the web statistics for
the given year.
-
Frames version: Provides an alternate way of viewing
statistics for users that prefer it.
(For this explanation, a non-frame example will be used.)
-
Select the Statistics for the last 12 months link. First, a
Navigation Window opens which provides a way for you to
navigate through the different displays of statistics. It is here
that you can determine which month you would like to focus on.
Also, in the existing browser window, a new page displays, which
displays a chart and table of statistics for the current month.
-
The main statistics displayed on this page are:
-
Hits: The number of times your site is given a request
for information from a web browser. (Note: a web page with two
images would generate three "hits", one each for the
images, and one for the page itself.)
-
Files: The number of times a web browser requests a
file and the server on which your site resides delivers that
file.
-
Pageviews: The number of times a web browser requests a
text or html file, which shows a truer reflection of the actual
documents requested from your site.
-
Sessions: The number of unique hosts accessing the
server during a given period of time.
-
Kbytes Sent: The amount of data sent during the summary
period as reported by the server.
How
To View Your Site Statistics (Frames Version):
-
From the
Control Panel, select the Site Statistics
option. The WWW Access Statistics
page displays.
-
Select the Frames
Version link below the Statistics
for the last 12 months text. The same summary chart and
table appear in the main frame of the browser, but rather than
having the statistic controls open in a new "Navigation
Window", they appear instead in the control frame to the left.
-
The main
statistics displayed on this page are the same as described in the
previous section.
-
Use the Control
Frame to select a specific month. Then select the type of
statistic you would like to see by clicking on the appropriate
button in the Control Frame. The statistical information that you
requested appears in the main frame.
