• Pages: The number of different HTML pages or scripts in the website that have been accessed or looked at by the visitors (unique IP address). A page is a hit that is not an image, JavaScript or a CSS file and which was not loaded by a search engine robot. Below is the pages per visit ratio.
• Hits: The number of instances that the site was being accessed by a person, a search engine, an RSS reader, or any other source. A hit is counted each time someone views a file on your website. A single Web page can be made up of many files. Below is the hits by number of visits ratio.
