Jürgen Hubert<p>Success! I managed to generate a HTML report with <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/GoAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoAccess</span></a> from my <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> logs.</p><p>What I now need to figure out is what all that information and all those abbreviations actually _mean_ - i.e. what will help me identify the causes for all the website downtimes. Can anyone recommend a good beginner's guide (i.e. for someone who has never had to deal with those technical aspects of website maintenance before)?</p>

Andreas (82mhz)<p>Question for the webmasters around here:</p><p>I'm parsing my web server logs with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/goaccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>goaccess</span></a>. It tells me that this mornings blog post has around 2400 hits, 1600 visitors. The post includes an image, and I can see from the logs that the image has been accessed around 250 times.</p><p>I would expect the image to be downloaded roughly the same number of times as the website, however these numbers are vastly different. And I don't really understand why. </p><p>Any ideas?</p><p>And related, much of the traffic on the site is from crawlers with the user agent "http.rb/5.2.0". What could that be?</p>
