aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:15:09:32 to 04/Jun/2000:08:56:24)

1. Introduction

aWebVisit extracts visitor information from WWW logfiles. For each visit, your web pages are then classified as an entry, transit, exit and/or hit&run page. The links followed during the visit to your website are classified as incoming, internal, outgoing and/or in&out links. If you are not familiar with these concepts, you will find more detailed explanations in the Help file.

The flow of visitors through your website can be summarised as follows :

Entry Transit Exit Hit&Run --> Entry --> Entry Incoming Incoming Internal Internal Outgoing Outgoing In&Out In&Out Exit --> Exit --> --> Hit&Run --> Hit&Run

Some global web maps are available. Try using aWebVisit-Map for individual page maps...

2. Logfile Information

Start date 07/May/2000:15:09:32
End date 04/Jun/2000:08:56:24
'Page' hits 493
'Image' hits 733
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 0
Valid entries 1226

The 'page' hits represent 40.2 % of all valid hits on your website. The 'image' hits are excluded as specified in the current configuration of aWebVisit. You do not need to include or exclude other types of pages for the moment...

This is probably not a large enough sample for statistical analysis. Please use logfiles covering a longer period of time...

Total 493 100.0   6 100.0   1 82.2 275 55.8 /

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 493 page visits, 26.0 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 6 different pages on your website, 83.3 % are used as an entry page at least once.

Based on the 52 entries to your website, you can also see that 82.7 % of your visitors use page / to enter your site, and 65.4 % use page /products.html right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 68.8 % of the hit & runs.

Total 82 100.0   15 100.0   1 5.5 41 50.0 / /products.html

Interpretation of this table is similar to the one above. Note that redirects by your web server will also appear as links, and that frames will generate links between the main frame and its children.

Since 6 different pages were visited and 15 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 2.5 links per page. This means that visitors do not use many hyperlinks on your site.

6. Status Information

Code Description Hit

200 Okay 1050 85.6

404 Not Found Requests 89 7.3

The 'usual' status codes, i.e. 200 (Okay) and 304 (Not modified), represent 92.7 % of all hits.
The others are examined in more detail here.
