Key Terms to Understand
Hit - (Also called a Request) This is each time someone asks to see any part of your site. To see your
site, they will have to "hit" or "request" a specific page or file. This includes both requests that were
successful and those that were not. ( hits also include search engine robot visits)
File - Any part of your site (an image, html page, pdf document, script, etc)
KByte - A Kilobyte or KB. This is is equal to 1024 bytes. KBytes are used when referencing the amount
of data that was transferred to visitors of your site.
Page - The main file being requested to bring up a page of your site. The individual items that make up
the page (graphics, media, includes, etc) do not count towards this count. By default, only pages with .htm,
.html or .cgi extensions are counted.
Site - A unique IP address or hostname that requested a page / file on your site.
This should be thought of as a rough count of the visitors to the site.
Visit - The first time someone views a page on your site, a visit is started. Any other pages viewed by
that visitor will not be counted as a separate visit until the visit times out (usually after 30 minutes). The
visit ends at this timeout point.
