In some cases, you may need to know exactly how many hits your website received in a given month. Webalizer is an advanced site statistics application which will display the number of hits to your site as well as other information to help track what areas of your page are most popular.

To view the Webalizer statistics for your account, simply visit http://yoursitedomain.com/plugins/Webalizers/webi/

• Countries - The countries from which your website was accessed.
• Entry - The URL of first page that a visitor views when they come to your website.
• Exit - The URL of the last page that a visitor views when they leave your website.
• File - A file is a hit where the server has to send something back like an HTML page or an image. A hit may not always be a file. For example, if a viewer enters an invalid filename and receives a ‘404’ error, this will count as a hit, but not a file, because no file is sent back to their browser.
• Hit - Any request made to the server, including HTML pages, images, CGI scripts, or error messages.
• KByte - The amount of kilobytes sent from the server.
• Page - A page is similar to a hit, except that it does not include images - so if a person views the main page of your website which includes five pictures, this will count as six hits (1 for the page + 5 images), but only 1 page.
• Site - A site is a specific visitors computer address. If the same person visits ten areas of your site, this will count as ten pages, but only one site.
• URL - A URL is the address of an individual web page, file, or any other resource available on the Internet.
• Visit - The visit count is the most useful; a visit is a 30-minute session of viewing your website. If a user views your site and clicks ten pages, this counts as one visit. If they come back to your site the next day, that counts as a second visit; however, if they leave your site and come back a few minutes later, the visit counter will not increase. Using the number of visits, you can determine how many people actually viewed your site in a given month.

In addition to Webalizer, you have direct access to your Apache log files, /var/log/httpd/access_log and /var/log/httpd/error_log; you are welcome to read over the log files to see the information about each hit (only recommended for very small sites), or download and import these files in to some other statistical software.
