A traffic analysis report summarizes your website's access data over a specific period, helping you understand your site's traffic status, user needs, and user behavior. You can use this information to improve your site's content and features. This topic describes how to apply for a traffic analysis report.
Notes
-
Traffic data is recorded only when your website is accessible. The traffic analysis report is available 24 hours after you apply for it.
-
You can only view traffic data from the application date onward. Data before the application date cannot be retrieved.
-
The traffic analysis report does not include traffic generated by web crawlers. Therefore, it should not be used as the sole reference for your website's total traffic.
Procedure
By default, the traffic analysis report feature is disabled in the Web Hosting console. To view a report for the first time, or if you have previously disabled this feature, you must apply to enable it.
- Log on to the Cloud Web Hosting management page.
