Analyzing Awstats

**ramone_kalsaw** · November 25, 2005

AWStats shows that I've had over 500 visits to my web site by people who averaged from 30 minutes to 1+ hours on the site. But when I look to see what pages they've been to, AWStats shows only 9 distinct pages being hit, ranging from 60 - 80 times; though the rss pages have been hit almost 1000 times.

Logically, if over 500 visitors stayed on the site for 30 - 60+ minutes, shouldn't more individual page hits be showing, and at higher numbers?

Thanks for helping me understand this!

Can someone respond as to how AWStats and cPanel interface relative to the response I received (below) from someone on another website?

Thanks!

If awstats is tied to your Cpanel server (Linux) it wont do it in that sense, it goes based on session timing, so technically a vistor may only stay for 1 minute and it times till its session dies witch on average is about 30 minutes after browser close or leaving the site. Depending on the setup type depends on weather or not it will cut off after index.php, its all up to how you have awstats setup through Cpanel.
