Understanding CDN Statistics

Statistics

Overview#

The Statistics section provides information about your website traffic and usage. It helps you understand how visitors are accessing your website and how much bandwidth is being used.

Total Bandwidth#

Bandwidth shows the amount of data transferred between your website and visitors.

The chart includes:

• Total Bandwidth – All data transferred.
• Cached Bandwidth – Data served from the CDN cache.
• Uncached Bandwidth – Data served directly from your hosting account.

Higher cached bandwidth usually means better website performance.

Total Hits#

A hit is recorded each time a file is requested from your website.

The chart includes:

• Total Hits – All requests.
• Cached Hits – Requests served from cache.
• Uncached Hits – Requests served directly from your server.

Bandwidth vs Hits#

This chart compares:

• The amount of data transferred (Bandwidth)
• The number of requests received (Hits)

It helps you understand how your website is being used over time.

SSL Hits vs Non-SSL Hits#

This section shows how many visitors are accessing your website securely.

• SSL Hits – Visits using HTTPS.
• Non-SSL Hits – Visits using HTTP.

For most websites, the majority of traffic should use HTTPS.

HTTP Successful Requests vs Error Requests#

This chart shows whether requests to your website are completing successfully.

• HTTP Successful Requests – Requests that completed successfully.
• HTTP Error Requests – Requests that returned an error, such as a missing page or server issue.

A small number of errors is normal, but a large number may indicate a problem that should be investigated.

Why Use Statistics?#

Statistics can help you:

• Monitor website traffic.
• Track bandwidth usage.
• Check CDN performance.
• Confirm visitors are using HTTPS.
• Identify unusual traffic patterns or errors.
