Activity Level by Hour of the Day - Help Card

Hits - Number of hits on the specified hour of the day. If the report period is longer than one day, and there are, for example, two instances of the same hour, the value represented includes the combined total of both instances. Unsuccessful hits are not counted. A hit is 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.

Hour - Specified hour of the day being tracked.

Visits - Number of visits on the specified hour of the day. If the report period is longer than one day, and there are, for example, two instances of the same hour, the value represented includes the combined total of both instances. Unsuccessful hits are not counted. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes. This time limit can be changed by the system administrator.

% - Percentage of total hits that occurred on the specified hour of the day.


Hours of less activity should be considered good days for maintenance and content improvement.
