Hyper Cache Statistics Example

With Hyper Cache 2.4+ I introduced statistics that can be enabled on the options panel (be aware that statistics collection slow down a bit Hyper Cache).

After some days of use of Hyper Cache on one of my blog (not too much updated), they look as shown in the picture below.

You may note there is a number of 404 handled responses, due to a lot of links no more valid (the site was not a blog in the past and not all URLs was rewrited). The 77% hits is really good, I saved a lot of CPU and database (my provider has a policy on database usage, queries per hour).

There is a low number of 304. 304 responses are for user who request the same page two times and that blog has 95% of new users  every day…

I wonder why there is so many plain responses, while today all browsers support gzip compression in HTTP protocol: I think they are mainly bots (the blog is hosted on a provider which does not give the access.log… so I cannot confirm).
