Statistics Overview
Many statistics about the usage of your web site are available through the Site Statistics
option in the Control Panel.
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.
How to View Your Site Statistics (with Navigation Window)
 | From the Control Panel, select the Site Statistics option. The WWW
Access Statistics page displays. |
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. |
| Use the Navigation Window to select a specific month. Once you are at the month
level of data, many more statistic options become available to you.
|
| Selecting one of these statistical options in the Navigation window causes the
statistics to be displayed in the main browser window. For instance, selecting the
Hits by Day
link results in the following (shown below). |
| Each link in the navigation window will display a different set of statistics in
the main window. |
