Hello,
Thank you for your question about AWSTATS. Please see our full article AWStats: View Statistics about your Website Traffic.
The article links to the Official AWStats logfile analyzer Documentation.
There it states: "Hits: Any files requested from the server (including files that are "Pages") except those that match the SkipFiles config parameter."
If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,
John-Paul
