Website Traffic metrics Terminology IP PV UV concurrency

Often people ask your company website how many IP?? How much PV?? How much UV?? How much concurrency??

I'm the only one with a face!!

Let's take a look at the terminology mentioned above separately.

Ip

IP, which refers to the number of independent IP, independent IP number refers to the total number of times when a computer accessing a website by a different IP address

The number of independent IP is an important measure of website traffic, it is generally said that a day how many IP

Usually the same IP address of the Client Access Site page will only be recorded as one time, because all the domestic companies are using local area network, export NAT address translation way online, so sometimes a company's people visit the same site will be recorded as the same IP

Thus, through the independent IP number to measure the site visits, and the actual access situation is not very matching, the domestic enterprise schools are using NAT Internet, a separate IP may have dozens of hundreds of client access!

Independent IP, though not very accurate, is a measure of the site's metrics that IT staff is more concerned about

PV

PV (Number of visits, Page view), which is the amount of pageviews or clicks

Regardless of whether the client is the same, regardless of whether the IP is the same, users simply visit the site will be calculated PV

For example, we visit a Web site, regardless of whether the page is fully open will be calculated as a PV, generally to prevent users to quickly refresh the PV, many sites will put PV statistics program at the bottom of the page

When using PV to measure a website, PV number reflects the number of pages viewed on a site, and each time a page is refreshed, it can be said that the PV number is proportional to the number of visitors, but the PV number is not the actual number of page visitors, because a visitor may produce multiple PV

Uv

UV (Unique Vistor) Independent visitors

A client or a device access site is called a UV (visitor)

One device per day can only count one UV

UV is generally based on client-side cookies and other technologies as a statistical basis

Concurrent connections

For a Web server, the so-called concurrency is the maximum number of connections that the server can handle in a unit of time

For example, the concurrency of a web site is 5000

That is, unit time (typically 1s), the maximum number of connections being processed, the number of connections being established, add up to a total of 5,000
