This isfrequently called a Hit. Requests may be generated either by visitor going to a page or by the page itselfrequesting an object (usually a graphic). Using the number of requests to gauge the popularity of a sitecan be misleading because pages with lots of embedded graphics can generate many more requeststhan sites with simpler graphics. For that reason, the number of visits or the number of HTML pagerequests will probably give a more accurate activity picture. Page RequestsA page request occurs when a web server is asked to provide an HTML file, i.e. a web page. This is a more accurate measure of activity than requests, since it excludes requests for graphics that are embedded in pages. Visitors A visitor is usually defined simply as a unique IP address. A particular IP address may represent a uniqueperson but, more often, one IP is shared by many people.Visits A visit is a collection of requests that represent all the pages and graphics seen by a particular visitor atone time. The total number of visits is usually more than the total number of visitors because each visitor can visit    the site more than once. Visits are just estimates because there is no way to be certain that a series of requests actually belongs to the same person, or, for that matter, to the same person during the same visit.
