Understanding your Tidy Website stats:

Visitor/User
A real person that has accessed your website.

Visits
This is the number that is most important in your statistics. Visits represent the total number of people that have visited your website during the reported period. If the same person visits the site twice, they will be recorded twice. (Unique visitor - An ip address that has not visited your site before... Usually on a per month basis)

Hits
This represents the total number of requests made to the server when your site has been visited during that reported period. The requests can be images, pages, audio files, javascript files, etc. Don't be fooled by this number, it does not represent the total visitors to your website.

Sites
The top and total number of sites (unique IP addresses) are displayed in tabular format and are ranked according to most Hits (Requests made), Files (Accessed), Pages (Viewed), (Total Number of) Kbytes (Downloaded) and hostname (IP address). It is important to understand that Sites represent the source of requests made to the server from a unique IP address, and not the last web page viewed prior to this visit.This data can be used as an indication of traffic from private networks (for example, commercial business). However, as most users access the web via an ISP (Internet Service Provider), the data should not be considered indicative of individual computers (i.e. individual users) accessing the site. Note: Sites can also include web spiders, robots and crawlers.

Pages
This represents the total number of pages visited during the reported period.

Referrals
This represents the total number of visits to your website home page by linking. This includes links from search engines, external links, and even links on your own website

Daily Usage
These statistics are displayed in both graphical and tabular format. This data can be used to ascertain trends over a selected month (for example, on which days of the week the site is most active) or to monitor the effect of a web campaign over that month.

Graphical Daily Usage Statistics
The graphical usage summary provides a quick method of visual comparison of site activity on a daily basis over the selected month in terms of Hits, Files (Accessed), Pages (Viewed), (Unique) Visits, (Unique) Sites and (Total Number of) Kbytes (Downloaded)

The Graphs
The summary data is displayed via separate graphs which group and compare: Pages, Files and Hits; Visits and Sites; and Kbytes. The highest value thus far in the summary period for each grouping is displayed numerically at the top of each graph to provide an indication of range. Note that weekdays (date) are displayed in black along the X axis of the graph, whereas weekends are displayed in green.
