Hit

What is it? when users access a Web site, their computer sends a request to the sites server to begin downloading a page. Each element of a requested page (including graphics, text, interactive items) is recorded by the sites Web server log file as a hit. If a page containing two graphics is accessed by a user, those hits will be recorded once for the page itself and once for each of the graphics. Webmasters use hits to measure their servers workload. Because page designs and visit patterns vary from site to site, the number of hits bears no relationship to the number of pages downloaded, and is therefore a poor guide for traffic measurement.
