This page shows the reliability of your Web site. The table shows the total number of hits for the site, how many were successful, how many failed, and it calculates the percentage of hits that failed.
Cached Hits - Hits where the page was found in the cache of the browser, so the server did not need to transfer the file.
Cached Hits as Percent - Percentage of hits that were cached compared with the total number of hits.
Redirected Hits - Number of client requests that were redirected to other resources.
Redirected Hits as Percent - Percentage of client requests that were redirected to other resources.
Failed Hits - Number of hits where a server or client error occurred.
Failed Hits as Percent - Percentage of hits where a server or client error occurred.
Hits - A hit refers to a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file. A visitor downloading a single file is logged as a single hit, while a visitor requesting a Web page including two images registers as three hits on the server; one hit is the request for the .html page, and two additional hits are requests for the downloaded image files. While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at.
Successful Hits - Number of hits without errors. Optionally excludes redirected requests and cached hits.
Total Hits - Number of successful hits plus failed and redirected hits.
Use this information for a bird's-eye view of the reliability of your Web site. Many major problems can be revealed here.
Redirects - A dynamic page or document redirection performed by your server in response to a visitor request. Redirections are often used to increment visitor hit/click counters or as landing zones for advertising banners.
A page requested by a visitor that results in a redirection will point the visitor's browser to a different page on this or another server. The visitor sees only the final page and, unless very observant, is unaware that their request was redirected.
Redirect Code - The redirection (300-series) return code encountered with short description.
Hits - Number of redirects described in the Redirect Code column. A hit refers to a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file.
% - Percentage of redirected hits that were of the specified redirect type.
Client Errors - An error caused by a problem on your visitor's end of the Web site connection. The server is not responsible for client errors.
Error - Name of the page that displays an error message. Usually, the names of these pages describe the error. Also, if you have more than one server, this column shows you how many errors of the specified type occurred on each server.
Hits - Number of failed hits described in the Errors column. A hit refers to a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file. A visitor downloading a single file is logged as a single hit, while a visitor requesting a Web page including two images registers as three hits on the server; one hit is the request for the .html page, and the two additional hits are requests for the downloaded image files. While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at.
% - Percentage of failed hits that were of the specified error type.
Use this page to determine what maintenance is necessary.
This section identifies pages that returned "Page Not Found" (404) errors on the server. Tip: To focus your report, consider using the Return Code filter for including or excluding return code data.
This can be useful in identifying referring pages that are out of date and for identifying inconsistencies in the site structure.
