Hi all…
I have recently been trying to explain the difference to colleagues between referrer requests and page requests and have realised that I have not 100% grasped this basic thing myself, though I do have a very good idea.
But my question goes like this…Why is it that when one totals up the number of referrer requests and the total number of page requests that they don’t in-fact match?
Is it because referrer requests can sometimes originate from clicking on an image rather than a text url on the referring page, so the image request counts as a file but not a page?
Surely, the referrer requests and page requests should, in an "ideal world" be equal though? Or am I just not understanding it right?
Very best wishes,
Paul Richards
