Understanding Usage Statistics

The table below provides information on each usage statistic. Cumulative or continuous vital statistics, such as "Connections since" can be reset.

My URL The network address or URL for your Web site.

Active connections The number of current connections to your Web site. Sometimes one browser will open several connections at the same time, so this number might not correlate to the number of people currently using your site. The higher the number, the more active your site is.

Highest so far The highest number of active connections to date. Personal Web Server watches the "active connections" and records the highest value. This lets you know how busy your Web site gets at peak times. This value is set to zero when you reset the counters. The maximum number of connections is sixteen.

Connections since The number of connections that have been made to your site since you last reset the counters, and the date on which the counters were reset.

Bytes served The total amount of data transferred from, or "served up" by, your Web site since you last reset the counters.

Web site activity The current level of activity on your site. The farther the dark area extends to the right, the busier your site is.

Recent visitors The domain names of users that have recently visited your site. If the domain name is not available, Microsoft Personal Web Server shows the IP address instead. Each name is only listed once, regardless of the number of hits.
