This information is usually provided if a site requires authentication so its visitors have to specify user name and password. |

| Bounce | This occurs when a user views only one page on the site. |
| Bounce Rate | Percentage of visitors who viewed only one page on the site. |
| Cached Request | A request that was cached on a client.
If a browser has a cached copy of the requested file, it sends a special request to a server so it sends the file only if it has not been modified.
Otherwise the browser uses the cached copy of the file, and the request is logged on the server as the cached one. |

| Host | A computer connected to Internet. User hosts are shown in the reports as IP addresses or domain names. |
| Incomplete Request | A request in response to which the server sent only a part of a file.
Many download managers download files using several threads each of which downloads a part of the file, so it is logged as several incomplete requests.
Incomplete requests may also occur if the files (pages, images) are too large and/or users have problems with getting them from the site. |
| Page View | A request for a page file. Hits from spiders are not counted as page views unless the Count spiders as visitors option is enabled. |
| Spider (Robot) | A program which automatically gets information from sites. Spiders gather information for search engines, extract emails, check links, etc. |
| Total Unique IPs | A number of different user IP addresses or domain names. |
| User Agent | A user agent string identifies browser, operating system, spider or any other application that accesses the site. |
| Visitor | The program determines number of visitors by the IP addresses.
If a request from an IP address came after some time (timeout) since the last request from this IP, it is considered to belong to a different visitor.
The timeout is set to 30 minutes by default but you can change this value in Options > Analysis > General.
Requests from spiders are not used to determine visitors unless the Count spiders as visitors option is enabled. |
