How many visitors?

Post by UBT - Mikee »

Hi

Just having a look at the stats at the bottom of the front page and saw this

"Who was here?

In total there were 661 users online :: 10 registered, 3 hidden, 6 bots and 642 guests (based on users active over the past 96 hours)
Most users ever online was 661 between Thu 25. May 2017 and Mon 29. May 2017"

What's going on?

Mike

Hi Mike
In total there were 661 users online :: 10 registered, 3 hidden, 6 bots and 642 guests (based on users active over the past 96 hours)
I changed the stats "period" to cover 96 hours, as the daily (ie 24 hour) stats were not that "interesting".

As for the visitors themselves, the first 3 are obvious: 10 registered members, 3 members who hide their online status and 6 "bots" from KNOWN search engines, such as Baidu - on the portal home page there is a listing of the "LATEST BOTS"...so you can see which spiders have been "trawling" the forum.

The 642 "guests" are either unregistered spider bots (mostly) or they are "real people" viewing the home page and seeing what the Team is about.

This is the current stats on spider bots and their "visits" ;-)

As you can see, quite a few spider bots do not appear to have "crawled" the forum, which in a way is a good thing, as when they do, they create "sessions" on the hosting server that can make the server run more slowly.
