Hit:
- Request from a Web server for a graphic or other element to be displayed on a web page. Sometimes the misleading term hit is not the same as a visitor.
A visitor is looking around at all the elements on a page, but hits only count the cold hard numbers of how many times sometime loads. This number is usually a lot higher than visitors since visitors can load different images multiple times in navigating around the site.
