Hit |
|
A "hit" is a single request
from a web browser for a
single item from a web
server. For example, a page
displaying 3 graphics would
require 4 hits: one for the
HTML document, and one for
each of the 3 graphics.
"Hits" are often used as a
rough measure of load on a
server; however, because
each hit can represent a
request for anything from a
tiny document to a complex
search request, the actual
load on a machine from a
single hit is impossible to
define. |
