time at your website.

Unique Visitor - Based purely on a cookie, this is the total of the returning visitors and first time visitors -
all your visitors.

Page Load - The number of times your page has been visited.

What can the Summary Stats tell me?

There are two dimensions to the stats for a 'Standard StatCounter project'. There are the 'Summary
Stats', and the 'Detailed Log Analysis'. The 'Summary Stats' provide a lifetime daily count of the totals of
visitors to your website each day. And allows you to run reports since the day you started the project!
After a few months of tracking, it is absolutely superb to look back and to see the daily, weekly and
monthly trends of your visitors. Does your website have a weekday rush and a weekend slump? Did your
traffic take a surge leading up to a holiday season? Is your website in general growing or stagnating? It is
a wonderful tool to quickly assess the current success of your website.

How do the Summary Stats work?

The 'Summary Stats' determines whether a visitor has been to your website before by using a cookie. So if
a user has cookies disabled we have no way of knowing if they are unique or not, and will by default be
considered unique. However the majority of visitors have cookies enabled.

To make up for relying on cookies in the summary stats, the rest of the stats are based on your detailed
log analysis of the last xxx number of pageloads. The uniqueness in this case is based on your visitors' IP
addresses. This method works very well for the majority, but yet again there is an exception. AOL users,
and visitors who use what is known as a 'dynamic web proxy' that changes each time they access a
webpage. So if a single AOL user visits 7 webpages on your website it will likely come up as 7 different IP
addresses!

Both cookies and IP addresses have their strengths and weaknesses for determining the uniqueness of a
visitor. It is impossible to be 100% accurate the entire time, but with the Standard StatCounter Project
you get the best of both worlds. Cookies for the 'Summary Stats' and IP addresses for the 'Detailed Log
Analysis'!
