Where Do I Monitor Web Usage Statistics?
- Requirements:
- Control Panel access (customer must request access for their site)
- Statistics "turned on" (customer controlled via the Control Panel - "turn off" by default)
We have available awstats.pl which has detailed information of your sites statististic in an easy to read format.
Raw data files are also available such that you can use your own statistical software to review your site's performance.
Hits and requests are not synonymous. When someone clicks on a link to one of your pages or types the url of one of your pages in the address box of their browser, they have generated a request header that is sent to the server hosting that page. The server records that request in the server logs. When that HTML page arrives at the browser, the browser reads it and creates the page on your screen. Anywhere on that page that a graphic is displayed remains blank until the browser generates the request headers for those graphics files and receives those files. The server also logs these requests.
