Is there a way to count number of hits does my browser? [images]

admin / March 18th, 2011/ Posted in Software / No Comments »

Q: Im nailed to work for that browser over 2000 hits in a period of 8 hours. I will be relieved of my position if I go more than 1000 hits per day.

Is there a way I can keep track of the number of hits is making my browser? I want a way to get to 999 hits or log off.

It seem to find 40% of the hits from the display ads on some sites.

I was wondering if there is a message that their would be a hit Count for of every image on the page because it is a link to the image.

Ahh, so each time I do a google image search and look at 10 pages of results that could be up to 200 hits.

Yes, but that is a pretty cheesy way to measure "hits" for the purpose of IT policy compliance. Most people will measure just page-level resource requests. Furthermore, the number of "hits' has very little to do with overall bandwidth utilization. One person streaming an audio or video file will likely use more bandwidth than you will use in a full day of browsing websites, even graphically intensive ones.

The goofy IT people here count each banner ad on a page as a hit and they do not care about bandwidth. They only reprimand employees based on total hit count regardless of bandwidth usage.

No, each link on the results page is not a hit. A "hit" is when the browser makes a seperate HTTP GET or POST request for a resource. When you click a typical link the browser does GET on the main page, and then in the process of rendering the page it does GET on each embedded resource (i.e. graphic, downloadable code, etc.).

Re:Got severerly reprimanded again at work for having too many browser hits yesterday.

Does anyone know if when doing a google search and looking at the results page that each link on that result page would be considered a "hit." Or would it not be a hit until someone clicks that link?

Re:Originally posted by: guyIf your network admins are being reasonable they are using a tool that makes an attempt to only count page requests. If you want to count accurately you will need to know what rule they use, i.e. only count lines ending in [.htm | .html | .shtml | .php | .asp | .aspx | .pdf], or something like that.

I assume they use some relaxation, since you'd hit 1000 in a couple of pages.

When they give a rundown of the 'hits' it shows the majority are for http://www.atdmt.com/.

I think that atdmt is a company that puts ads on websites….

Might want to ease off on browsing the web at work for a while instead of worrying how many hits your browser makes.

Re:Sure, it's easy. Download ccproxy (http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/), install it on your machine, and turn on its logging feature. Go into Internet Explorer Internet Options and set it to use the proxy server on your local machine.

The number of lines in the ccproxy log – 1 is the number of hits. You parse this out in VB or whatever, pop up a dialog when you get to the warning zone.

I agree with what others said about not browsing from work, but 1000 hits isn't really very many, even if you are just hitting sites associated with your job, or normal news sites. A lot depends on what they are counting as a hit. You get individual GET requests for every resource on a page that is referenced through a URI. Here is the ccproxy log of one request for a single page from miniclip.com (taken from my oldest daughter's log… and yes, her machine is a cesspool of adware)…

[edit: I took the log out because the forum converts the URIs into links to miniclip. There were well over 100 requests for resources on this one page.]

As you can see, lots of requests. If your network admins are being reasonable they are using a tool that makes an attempt to only count page requests. If you want to count accurately you will need to know what rule they use, i.e. only count lines ending in [.htm | .html | .shtml | .php | .asp | .aspx | .pdf], or something like that.
