I raised this issue a year ago on this mailing list: http://markmail.org/thread/mtknhgrwjkajj2ux I'm assuming this is just a "lack of maintenance issue" and we can add it to the list of other things that need attention. > For the website as a whole (all subdomains tracked) it is around 730K/day > > for a peak day.

GA reports the total traffic for all tracked domains, and then allows filtering by URL pattern.

If you have access let me know offline and I can give you the codes. Note that this root page is not in the Apache CMS.
