This section explains the method of analysis focusing on the usage of each page that makes up the contents of the Web site, such as for checking which page is popular.
By making analysis focusing on the usage of each page, the following types of information can be obtained and used for effective operation of the Web site.
Frequently used pages
Usage of pages that the contents provider wants to be used
Effective pages for information supply
To analyze with focusing on the usage of each page, specify the following items in the usage analysis window:
Item | Specification |
|---|---|
Analysis target server | Specify the server or the group to be analyzed. |
Data type | Session status |
Analysis method | URL |
Analysis period Unit | Specify the analysis period unit and period |
If "Date: hour unit" is specified for the analysis period, the usage of the URL (page unit) on the specified date is displayed.
The upper half of the analysis window graphs the session counts of three top ranking URLs and the total session count. The lower half shows the session counts for the specified number of URLs (20 URLs by default).
Point
Because "Session status" is specified for the analysis data type, usage analysis for each page is performed in units of sessions. In other words, even if the same user frequently accesses the same page within one session, the usage count is one. This analysis thus tells how many different users used the page.
"Request status" can also be specified for the analysis data type. In this case, if the same users frequently accesses the same page, the usage count is incremented each time the page is accessed. This analysis thus tells how many times the page was used.
Note
When URL is specified as the analysis method, the accesses to the URLs having the extensions specified with RequestURLSuffix in the analysis target server definition block in the Usage DB Environment Definition File are analyzed.
The default settings are as follows:
RequestURLSuffix = "html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,cgi,asp,pl,tcl,sh" |
