Web Statistics

A range of web statistics are available to users. The statistics are provided weekly by Information Systems

General Statistics

Web Server Statistics for web sites on the main UCL Web Server are analysed weekly using a server-based piece of software called Analog. Statistics available include:

• A General Summary detailing overall statistics such as number of successful requests
• A monthly, daily and hourly summary
• A domain report - i.e. a list of the countries of the computers which requested web files
• Organisation requests - i.e. a list of the top 20 organisations and service providers which requested web files
• Status code report, file type report and file request report

The statistics for the UCL home page are available by following this link

A full list of directories that are compiled by Analog can be found by following this link If you wish to have your website added to this list contact web-support@ucl.ac.uk. Please note that this service is only available to websites that are hosted on the main UCL Web Server
