As was already mentioned, statistics is a very useful tool for tracking various parameters including your site's popularity, reaction of users on various external factors (for example, you may be interested whether the stream of visitors has risen after an advertising campaign) etc.
SiteBuilder can track two types of parameters: hits and hosts.
Hits represent the total number of page requests made to a server during the given time period (month, day, hour etc). This parameter is not very informative, because each unique visitor generates a lot of duplicate page requests (due to navigating the site's structure etc)
Unlike hits, hosts represent the total number of unique computers (and therefore, users), which accessed your site. This is much more informative parameter. The only problem it has is that many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) give their clients the so-called dynamic IP-addresses and therefore different users could be counted as one visitor.
So, if hits generate overflows compared to the real visiting statistics, hosts generate underflows, sometimes counting less visitors than actually present. As we know, the truth is somewhere between these two parameters.
Click the button to access the Statistics page in SiteBuilder. Only regular users can get statistics.
The histogram occupies the biggest part of the screen. It shows number of visits in the slice of day hours. The horizontal axis designates day hours, the vertical axis designates the number of hits. Each hour has two bars, which, according to the legend at the right side, designate statistics for the present and past days. This way you can compare how the statistics has changed since yesterday.
If, due to some circumstances, you want to start the statistics from scratch press the Clear statistics button to erase all the collected data.
