What are Web Site Hits?
In the beginning of the web, web site traffic was measured in hits. Hits are the number of computer files that your Web Server serves to your visitors. During the early stages of the web, this made sense since most web pages consisted of text from a single file. For example, if every page consisted of one file then the number of hits were the same as the number of page views. This was an easy way to measure page views because your web server logs a request every time it serves a file.
In the late 90s, hits had no meaning at all. Pages were a more complex combination of multiple text and image files, therefore the hit metric was unable to tell you how many actual pages were viewed.
While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at. Each time you type in your web address, the browser hits the website’s server for the document. The server sends the web page to the browser. Once the browser begins to display the information, it continues to hit the server for any additional elements needed. For example, a logo will represent one hit as the server returns that image to your browser. Because of how hits are measured, this number is inflated and different from page views or visitor counts. More images in a website leads to a greater number of hits being recorded.
