I looked at our web site’s access statistics today. While I still can’t extract any non-trivial information from them. But a few things were notable:
- Why do those tools list ‘hourly usage’?
- So we can learn that the fewest hits are between 7 and 9 CEST? Or that there are peaks around 14 and 18 (European lunch break? end of work?) and 1 at night?
-
Thursdays and Sunday are the slowest days.
-
There are many many hits to mt-comments.cgi. Are those people trying to spam? Or search engines? Or actually people subscribing to my comment feeds?
-
There are also quite a few hits to robots.txt? Where do all those robots come from?
-
Most of our hits come from Google
-
Most of our hits come from NetNewsWire, the most frequent browser user agent is MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1.
-
This is followed by Safari.
-
The Safari stats are unnecessarily split up because Safari puts the active language into its version string.
-
Safari exists in ‘en’ and ‘en-us’ variants for the same version number. How does it decide which one to use. I had the impression that System Preferences only list English as an option.
-
And there has also been a visitor using Lynx.
-
These very pages are eating quite a bit of our bandwidth quota.
-
The feed seems quite popular. Together with the previous point, this makes the ‘304 Not modified’ a very good thing.
