Site Statistics

[Dung Ping]

The statistics of my site is in the following page:

http://www.pinyinology.com/stat.html

I am quite concerned with the "Hits by Response Code", because of the
following numbers:

Code 304 - Not Modified: 1859

Code 403 - Forbidden: 1042

Code 404 - Not Found: 2231

I know these numbers mean there are problems on the site, and like to
learn how to improve it.

Thanks.

Nothing wrong with this. It just means that the web server did not send
the page because it has not changed since the last request.

Code 403 - Forbidden: 1042

Check your web server's error logs for these. It could just be search
robots recursing into areas that do not allow access. Or hackers doing a
similar thing.

Code 404 - Not Found: 2231

Check your web server's error logs for these. Internet Explorer is the
main contributor to those errors at our site:

[Mon ...] [error] [client xxx] File does not exist: /var/www/html/formfiles//

Note the double trailing slashes. The error log is full of this shit.
IE is probing for a Frontpage extension and the probe generates the
error. It does so only on certain file types, fortunately.

Thanks a lot for explanation.
