aWebVisit - Summary

(from 06/Jan/2000:18:15:58 to 04/Jun/2000:16:28:41)

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 06/Jan/2000:18:15:58
End date 04/Jun/2000:16:28:41
'Page' hits 1337
'Image' hits 1
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 1
Valid entries 1338

The 'page' hits represent 99.9 % of all valid hits on your website. The 'image' hits are excluded as specified in the current configuration of aWebVisit. You may want to exclude other types of pages (e.g. RealAudio, counters, ...) in a next run...

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

3. Visit Information

16.2 % of your visitors visit at least two pages on your site, which is pretty bad ! Have a closer look at the hit & run pages and see if you might keep them on your site...

Total 1337 100.0   13 100.0   1 102.8 675 50.5 /

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 1337 page visits, 28.3 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 13 different pages on your website, 38.5 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 131 entries to your website, you can also see that 96.2 % of your visitors use page / to enter your site, and 49.6 % use page /orglobal.html right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 65.1 % of the hit & runs.

Total 169 100.0   19 100.0   1 8.9 77 45.6 / /orglobal.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 13 different pages were visited and 19 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 1.5 links per page. This means that you may not have enough hyperlinks on your site, or that they are hardly ever used.

6. Status Information

Code Description Hit

200 Okay 907 67.8
304 Not modified 27 2.0
404 Not Found Requests 404 30.2
Total   1338 100.0

The 'usual' status codes, i.e. 200 (Okay) and 304 (Not modified), represent 69.8 % of all hits.
The others are examined in more detail here.
