Understanding Webstat

How do I view my stats?

If you have your web hosting with Midwest Web Design Inc, you can request a username and password from us. We will give you a username and password and then you can use that with the following directions:

Type in your web site address. (ex http://www.yourdomainname.com/webstat)
Then a prompt will pop up asking for the username and password that we gave you. Enter it in and hit "Enter".
You will be able to see the statistics on your screen

After you sign in, come back to this page to find out a little more about what the values mean and how you can read them and look at the statistics that mean the most.

A brief overview of what Webstat's mean and how to read them

Webstat is a package that analyses the log files from the server where your website is hosted. The report shows statistics for a 12 month period. Each month has its own statistics that are broken down into more detail.

The statistics are also broken down into the "Daily Avg" and the "Monthly Totals".

Hits   (Importance: Low)
Any request made to the server which is logged, is considered a 'hit'. This number represents the total number of requests that were made to the server during the specified report period. This inlcudes, html pages, graphics, scripts and things like that.

Files   (Importance: Low)
Some requests made to the server, require that the server send something back to the user, such as a web page or some graphics.

Pages   (Importance: Medium)
Page counts is the number of 'hits' that a page gets. When a page is viewed the count is incrimented. It is similar to the 'Hits' category, but it does not count images or other scripts.

Visits   (Importance: High)
Whenever a request is made to the server from a given IP address (web site), the amount of time since a previous request by the address is calculated. If the time difference is greater than a certain value, it is considered a 'new visit', and this total is incremented. The default timeout value is 30 minutes (can be changed), so if a user visits your site at 3:00pm, then returns at 4:00pm, it would count as two visits. This value can be compared to the 'Sites' value to see the relationship of how many people come back to the web site.

Sites   (Importance: High)
Each request made to the server comes from a unique IP address. The number represents how many unique IP addresses made visited the website. It is not exactly the number of unique actual people that visited the website, but it offers the closest number that would tell you how many new people visited the web site during that period.

KBytes   (Importance: Low)
The KBytes value shows the amount of data that was sent out by the server during that period.

Hourly statistics   (Importance: Medium)
Hourly values for the same, represented as totals and averages over the month.

URLs   (Importance: Medium)
The pages that were requested the most often.

Entry   (Importance: Medium)
The pages that people entered into the web site.

Exit   (Importance: Medium)
The pages that people left the site from.

Referrers   (Importance: High)
Referrers shows the website where your visitors came from. It will show the search engines, pages or directories that brought people to your web site.

Search   (Importance: High)
This shows what the visitors clicked int he search engines to find your web site. This is very helpful information tosee how your users are finding you.

Agents   (Importance: Low/Medium)
Shows the web browsers that visitors used to see your web site.
