Hits, Visits, Pageviews: What's the difference?

Hit Defined Technically - Each file request sent to server while browsing a page is an individual hit. Or alternatively a "hit" is defined as "The access of a file by a user on a server". A visitor to a webpage in a single visit may produce one or dozens of hits on server, depending on how many graphics or other elements there are on your webpage.

Visits Defined Technically - A visit happens when someone - human visitor or bot visits your webpage. The visit can have one or more number of pages and also visitor or robots can visit a page multiple times.

Pageviews Defined Technically - A pageview is each time a visitor views a page on your website. A single pageview can generate quite a number of hits. As pages are comprised of files every image, css in a page is a separate file. So when a visitor looks at a page, they may see numerous images, graphics, pictures etc. which generates multiple hits.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
