The Summary section of the Web Usage report rolls up the information as follows.
| Information Label | Description |
|---|---|
| Reported period | Month and year in which the report was run |
| First visit | Date and time when the first site page was accessed by a visitor during the reporting period |
| Last visit | Date and time when the last site page was accessed by a site visitor during the reporting period |
| Unique visitors | Total number of times during the reporting period that a site visitor, including both registered constituents or non-registered visitors, with a unique IP address accessed your site. Note that the number may be slightly inflated by dial-up visitors because they got a new IP address each time they logged in, which means each time they visited they got counted again. The system also counted a visitor as unique each time the visitor connected to the site with more than one computer, got disconnected from Internet access and reconnected to the site within the same day, or was on a network with a proxy server farm with multiple external IP addresses. |
| Number of visits (visits/visitor) | Total number of times during the reporting period, in a 24-hour day between midnight and midnight Central Standard Time, that a site visitor initiated a session and downloaded, or accessed, at least one site page. The visit counter did not increment when the same person accessed the site multiple times within the same 24-hour day. For example, if the same person visits on Tuesday at 1:00 pm and again at 8:00 pm, the count increments by only 1 visit. The count will increment by 2 visits if a person visits on Tuesday and then again on Friday, or visits at 23:55 CST on Tuesday and continues to use the site after 00:01 CST (which is Wednesday). The average number of times each visitor has visited the site displays in parenthesis () below the total number of visits. |
| Pages | |
| Viewed traffic | Total number of your site pages that visitors have accessed during the reporting period. A site page is an HTML or CGI file downloaded from static servers or generated by the application software. The page can contain multiple pieces of content see hits). The average number of site pages that each visitor accessed during the reporting period displays in parenthesis () below the total number of pages. |

| Hits | |
| Viewed traffic | Total number of times during the reporting period the system downloaded a file containing a piece of content (such as, an image, icon, button, CSS, Javascript, MPEG, and so on) to display on a Web page as well as the Web page itself.

| Not viewed traffic | Total number of hits that known robot or worm applications have requested during the reporting period as well as pages displayed with an HTTP status problem (such as a missing graphic). |
| Bandwidth | |

For example, if you have a Web page that has 50KB of text, 24KB in one image file, and 32KB in another image file, each visitor to that page will take 106KB of your bandwidth. The average amount of bandwidth used per visit during the reporting period displays in parenthesis () below the total number of bandwidth. |
