- Hit
A hit is actually a request made to a Web server. For example, if you go to a Web site that has six images included on the homepage, the browser must make a request to the server for the six images and one extra for the HTML part of the site. Then, once all of those requests are made, seven hits are actually recorded, instead of just six.
