Året er ved at rinde ud, og for en webside er det interessant at holde øje med besøgstallene. Kommer der overhovedet nogen på besøg, og hvilke sider besøger de?I 2004 lå det gennemsnitlige besøgstal på 20-25.000 om måneden ("Visits" - altså besøg, hvor gæsten kan have set flere sider). Dette tal er mere interessant end antallet af "hits", der svingede fra 250.000 til ca. 700.000.
Første halvår 2005 lå på samme niveau, men derefter synes tingene at have taget fart, og i november nåede antallet af besøg op på 61.245 - det højeste nogensinde. Gæsterne i november kom fra 119 forskellige lande. Tabellen nedenfor er genereret den 18. december, og man kan konstatere, at vi i 2005 runder 400.000 gæster i alt med op mod en million sideopslag og mere end 4 millioner hits.
Dykker man længere ned i statistikken, kan man se, at de engelske sider med programmer og fonte er de hyppigst besøgte, og at der i øvrigt er pænt besøg på de fleste sider. Det indikerer, at vi rammer målgruppen bredt.
Under tabellen findes en teknisk forklaring (på engelsk) på, hvad de enkelte begreber som "Besøg", "Hits" m.m. betyder.

Hits represent the total number of requests made to the server during the given time period (month, day, hour etc..).
Filer represent the total number of hits (requests) that actually resulted in something being sent back to the user. Not all hits will send data, such as 404-Not Found requests and requests for pages that are already in the browsers cache.
Tip: By looking at the difference between hits and files, you can get a rough indication of repeat visitors, as the greater the difference between the two, the more people are requesting pages they already have cached (have viewed already).
Sites is the number of unique IP addresses/hostnames that made requests to the server. Care should be taken when using this metric for anything other than that. Many users can appear to come from a single site, and they can also appear to come from many ip addresses so it should be used simply as a rough guage as to the number of visitors to your server.
Besøg occur when some remote site makes a request for a page on your server for the first time. As long as the same site keeps making requests within a given timeout period, they will all be considered part of the same Visit. If the site makes a request to your server, and the length of time since the last request is greater than the specified timeout period (default is 30 minutes), a new Visit is started and counted, and the sequence repeats. Since only pages will trigger a visit, remotes sites that link to graphic and other non- page URLs will not be counted in the visit totals, reducing the number of false visits.
Sider are those URLs that would be considered the actual page being requested, and not all of the individual items that make it up (such as graphics and audio clips). Some people call this metric page views or page impressions, and defaults to any URL that has an extension of .htm, .html or .cgi.
A KByte (KB) is 1024 bytes (1 Kilobyte). Used to show the amount of data that was transfered between the server and the remote machine, based on the data found in the server log.
