 * Greetings,
 * my name is Florian and I am working on a scientific project for the university
   of applied sciences in lower Austria. We are using your fantastic tool and plugin
   for statistical purposes on one of our websites. I would like to ask you some
   questions regarding the visits and visitors count. I hope you can help me soon
   as it’s necessary for a scientific project:
 * -) How exactly are visits and visitors counted? (Default Settings on PlugIn)
   -)
   Are #visits on website identical to HTTP Requests. This means does every image
   that is opend count as visit or only visited HTML pages? -) A visit is the number
   of visitors identified by a unique session cookie I assume?
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Thanks and cheers,
    Florian

 * #1 You could investigate by looking at wp_statistics_pages etc tables in your
   database.
    #2 Generally http requests for some image upload, would not even trigger
   WordPress php to run, so no. #3 You could test that theory out I don’t know much
   about their code to tell you.
