How Does It Work?

As a visitor to a Web site clicks on various hyperlinks and travels through a site, each step is recorded by the server. The type of information logged includes:

  • IP address or hostname of the visitor

  • Time of the action

  • Referring page

  • Browser and platform types of the visitor

  • How much data was transferred

  • Each Web page, image, and multimedia file viewed by the visitor

  • Each form submitted

  • E-commerce transactions

Urchin crunches the server log files then creates detailed online reports. These HTML-based reports can be viewed with any Web browser.
