    Fist of all, thank you very much for your splendid plugin to show statistics, which we are very much satisfied with.

    At the end of February, I found some strange phenomenon of the visit duration statistics.

    One range of visit duration under visitors tab shows 338.18%, which is more than 100% and seems to be strange.(My client asked me why it is more than 100%.)

    You may find the 0-30 seconds-range with 338.18% on the following lists of visit duration.

    The total number of human visits is 97. But the number of hits of 0-30 seconds range is 328. If I divide 328 by 97, then I come up with 338.14%.

    Is it possible to have more hits than the total number of human visits?

    Or is there some kind of option I need to set to make the percentage to be under 100%. Or has it something to do with the number of number of bot’s visit, which have grown to 733 visits from 99 visits on January.

    I guess the percentage need to be around 33.94% considering the rest of the cases(33.94=100-17.53-13.40-3.09-3.09-9.28-15.46).
    —————————————–
    Visit Duration

    3 – 5 minutes 6.19%
    5 – 7 minutes 3.09%
    7 – 10 minutes 3.09%
    10 – 20 minutes 9.28%
    More than 20 minutes 15.46%

  • Is it possible to have more hits than the total number of human visits?

    Yes.
    1. Various bots including search engines visit your site and as a percentage it can be more that humans when you have a few human visitors.
    2. Can be rogue bots (say, for hacking, etc.)

    Any way, a URL to your site may help us.
    Also look for opinions from others.

    Thank you very much for your quick reply.

    Currently the site is on the development server, which is accessible only from internal network. When the site is moved to production server, I will post the url here.

    Dear camu,

    Thank you very much for your attention.

    The version of SlimStat I am using is 2.8.2

    Upon reading your message, I checked the SlimStat changelog.
    I found there have been many updates after 2.8.2. thanks to your time and effort.

    And I found “Fixed: bug in calculating visit durations” on the version of 2.8.6. So, I think I can solve the problem with plugin upgrade.

    I will upgade the SlimStat to newest version.

    Thank you very much for your help.
