Help Card: Hourly This report provides a snapshot of traffic for each hour of the day. Use this information to find the most popular hours, which can be used to determine when system uptime is most crucial. This report may be affected by world time zones. Many webservers generate timestamps in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+0), which may not be your local time zone. The time data in your logs can be adjusted to represent your local time zone, in Settings > Analysis > Options > Date range > Time adjust. Vertical axis: Hits (default sorting). Number of hits to the site. Changing the sorting options in Settings > Statistics will alter the vertical axis to the new sort method (Visitors, Bytes, etc). This report may be sorted by hits, bytes, sessions, visitors, pages or errors. Horizontal axis: Time The hourly periods of a day. Red line (if present): HTTP errors (Page not found, server error, etc) Time: The hourly period as the focus of this report. Hits (%): Number of hits to the site during the corresponding hourly period. (Percentage as a proportion of hits to the site during the day's 24 hours.) Bytes (%): Number of bytes transferred as a result of hits to the site during the corresponding hourly period. For readability, these values may be suffixed with kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB), where applicable. (Percentage as a proportion of bytes transferred during the day's 24 hours.) Sessions: Total number of sessions undertaken during the corresponding hourly period. This number includes sessions undertaken by 'repeat' visitors. Note that he total of this column represents an overall session count for the entire period including those sessions overlapping hourly time periods. For this reason, the total of this column may appear smaller than the figure when adding up each row individually. Visitors: Total number of unique visitors who participated in sessions during the corresponding hourly period. Note that this figure represents a unique hourly visitor count, not a unique daily visitor count (as a unique visitor for one hour may return in another hour). As such, the "Totals" value will be cumulative for the 24 hours and the overall total for individual rows may be more than in the Totals row. Pages: Number of pages viewed during the corresponding hourly period. Errors: Number of server errors generated as a result of hits to the site during the corresponding hourly period.
