aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/Jan/2000:10:14:45 to 23/May/2000:19:42:04)

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/Jan/2000:10:14:45
End date 23/May/2000:19:42:04
'Page' hits 756
'Image' hits 314
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 0
Valid entries 1070

The 'page' hits represent 70.7 % 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...

3. Visit Information

84.9 % of your visitors visit at least two pages on your site, which is pretty good ! Have a closer look at the transit pages and see if you might keep them even longer...

Total 756 100.0   30 100.0   1 25.2 78 10.3 /shockwave/sp3.swf

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 756 page visits, 1.3 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 30 different pages on your website, 56.7 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 62 entries to your website, you can also see that 85.5 % of your visitors use page / to enter your site, and 19.4 % use page /_fpclass/fphoverx.class right before leaving your website. And page /mfc_menu.htm is responsible for 10.0 % of the hit & runs.

Total 684 100.0   129 100.0   1 5.3 59 8.6 / /banner.htm

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 30 different pages were visited and 129 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 4.3 links per page. This means that visitors do not use many hyperlinks on your site.

6. Status Information

Code Description Hit

The 'usual' status codes, i.e. 200 (Okay) and 304 (Not modified), represent 97.6 % of all hits.
