How to calculate the access volume of a personal homepage

As a personal homepage, access traffic is an important criterion for checking whether the homepage is happy. Currently, there are many ways to calculate access traffic, in addition to counters that everyone is familiar with, as well as IP address counts, the following describes how to calculate the traffic.
Counter
This is the most common counting method. Place a CGI program on your home page, so that when a person visits, the counter increases by 1. This method is simple and easy to use, but it also has drawbacks. First, the CGI program is set as an image. When a person disables the image function of the browser, the counter cannot be counted. There is also a counter that allows you to set its initial value. That is to say, you can set any number, which will avoid spoofing. Finally, when a visitor loads your homepage, the counter is usually the last one loaded, so it is possible that the visitor will jump to another place when your counter is not working. Of course, although the counter has many shortcomings, it is also the most common method at present, after all, it is relatively accurate.
Click rate (hits)
Click-through rate refers to the total number of commands the server receives when a visitor visits your home page. To put it simply, if your home page contains five images, you already have five click rates. Of course, there must be other content on your homepage, so each content represents a click rate. Therefore, this is the most inaccurate calculation method, currently, this method is only applicable to some ICPS.
Page)
The number of pages means that when a visitor visits your home page, if the visitor visits your first page, even if the visitor visits another web page, and so on, for example, if it visits your other five web pages, even if you visit the six pages of your home page, this method is generally not used by individuals, and only some ISPs and ICPS are available.
IP address count
Although we generally use dial-up Internet access, each time we access the Internet, we have an IP address randomly assigned by the ISP. Therefore, if a visitor visits your homepage, whether it stays on your homepage for a long time, or how many pages you have viewed, count the traffic, because the preceding methods have many relationships with humans, IP addresses are different only when they are connected to the internet each time. This method is widely used currently.
Comprehensive Method
At present, another method for calculating personal homepage traffic is to embed a Java Scirpt script on your homepage. If someone visits your homepage, this script will generate a record on the requested server. This record not only records the access traffic, but also records the operating system, IP address, and origin of the visitor, in addition, you can get a statistical report every time. At present, there are two such service providers in China, one is easy data, and the other is hot news. The ease of access is calculated based on the IP address, which is more realistic, because the current traffic is still related to the web page ranking.
The above is a common method for calculating traffic volumes. Currently, many personal homepages use multiple methods, including counters and traffic computing. In short, obtaining the correct access volume is the greatest encouragement to your homepage.
