Unique Visitor

A unique visitor has made at least 1 hit on 1 page of your web site during the current period shown by the report. If this visitor makes several visits during this period, it is counted only once.

Visits

This is the number of visits made by all visitors. This includes multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor.

Pages

This is the number of "pages" logged. Usually pages are reserved for HTML files or CGI files, not images nor other files requested as a result of loading a whole "page".

Hits

Counts any file requested from the server during the current period shown by the report. Files can include images, documents, HTML pages, Cascading Style Sheets, etc.

Session Duration

The time a visitor spent on your site for each visit.

Robots/Spiders visitors

Search engines are constantly "crawling" the web to discover new and updated content that can be added to their indexes. The Robots/Spiders visitors statistic lets you know what search engines are indexing your site and how often.

Bandwidth

Total number of bytes for pages, images and files downloaded by web browsing.

Entry Page

First page viewed by a visitor during its visit.

Note: When a visit started at end of month to end at beginning of next month, you might have an Entry page for the month report and no Exit pages. That's why Entry pages can be different than Exit pages.

Exit Page

Last page viewed by a visitor during its visit.

Note: When a visit started at end of month to end at beginning of next month, you might have an Entry page for the month report and no Exit pages. That's why Entry pages can be different than Exit pages.

HTTP Status Codes

Error 404 - Document Not Found is a common error that visitors encounter when they cannot access a web page. This usually means that a link is broken or a page no longer exists within a particular site.
