Browser report and browser summary

These reports identify the most popular web browsers used to visit your site. The Browser report provides highly detailed information, such as operating system, version, language, etc. The Browser Summary gives a more general summary of types of browsers (Netscape Navigator, MSIE, etc) broken down by category.

Other reports

Site reports contain other information which may be of occasional interest.

Status indicates how the web server responded to the browser request: 200-209 correspond to successful delivery of the requested file. 304 means that the page was served from cache. 400-500 are error messages.

File Size is what it sounds like--the size of files being served. It's interesting to compare the number of requests and total percentage of bytes for the largest files and the smallest.

File Type shows the various formats of files that people download from your site.
