Hits on a website
what are hits?
A hit is a request to a web server for a file, like a web page, image, JavaScript, or Cascading Style Sheet. When a web page is downloaded from a server the number of "hits" or "page hits" is equal to the number of files requested (to me an you, how many files have been viewed).
The average website owner thinks that a hit means a visit but it is very different. A Hit actually refers to the number of files downloaded on your site, this could include photos, graphics, etc. Picture the average web page, it has photos (each photo is a file and hence a hit) and lots of buttons (each button is a file and hence a hit). On average, each page will include 15 hits.
A research method i conducted to find out how many 'Hits' have been made on Youtube and Facebook. (Table below)
