Statistics from information services for April 2000: Important Note! The major changes to the upper-level pages on www.uky.edu in October 1998 make it difficult to relate this month's total transactions to earlier figures. The initial page and many of the upper-level pages now make many references for images and scripts, greatly inflating the total number of transactions, but indicative of the increased load created. The figures in the WWW Hit Parade below are largely unaffected by this. World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu): 46,142,333 total transactions, -4% 23,353 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -10% 61,379 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -8% 27,162,354 from UK campus network workstations, +5% 15,425 from local indexing 18,879,822 from the Internet, -14% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 295,615 total transactions, +2% 220,006 from CMS servers & users (ukcc.uky.edu), +12% 292 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -30% 73,047 from UK campus network workstations, -19% 2,270 from the Internet, +22% (most Internet access is through the servers at ukcc.uky.edu) Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 33,696 total transactions, -2% 21,739 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +5% 25 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -47% 1,888 UK campus network workstations, -11% 10,044 from the Internet, -13% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 75 total transactions, +19% The servers are used 24 hours each day from all over the world, but most use is from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm, with a concentration from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The WWW Hit Parade These were the most popular pages on the main Web servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu). Web client access to the Gopher server is counted below with the other Gopher counts. The count for the Computer Labs is exaggerated because the lab computers are configured to use that page as home. Daily Rank Category Total Non-UK Mean 1. Scripts 605,967 419,929 20,199 2.

Information recorded includes the version of the browser used and the operating system under which it was running. Some servers are not recording the information and for various reasons some transactions will not have browser information available. The percentages below are the portion of the transactions for which browser information was available.

The figures are total transactions with a daily average. Est. Avg. Gopher View Total Daily 1. Grants 488 1 489 16.1 2. Netnews 473 1 474 15.6 3. Classes&Registrar 383 1 384 12.6 4. Census 282 1 283 9.3 5. HRS 267 1 268 8.8 Notes The services covered here are the World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph Directory, and CMS View. CMS View is available only to local CMS users (the anonymous View service uses the CMS Web browser). The other services are available to workstations with campus ethernet access or terminals on multi-user systems with appropriate software. Most of these services are available world-wide over the Internet, although some data is restricted to local users. Web client software (like Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) can use all of these services, Gopher clients can use all but the Web services, and Ph and Eudora clients can use Qi/Ph services. (We distribute versions of most of these for Macintosh, Windows, and some Unix platforms.) Tracking Web clients is the most complex because of the number of protocols they support. A document on a Web server can refer the client to another Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the client user's awareness. The transaction counts are counts of Gopher and View menu picks - when someone picks an item from a View or Gopher menu that counts as one transaction. A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or another menu. Web transactions are for documents and searches. What the Web user sees as a single page might involve multiple server transactions. Most Web requests from www.uky.edu are for building the index used by our search service. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. The primary Web server is running on an IBM PC Server 704 (www.uky.edu) using the Apache server under FreeBSD. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 9672 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 9672 VM/ESA system (ukcc.uky.edu) and others. There are numerous other specialized servers running on these and other machines which are not included here.
