DNN Site Traffic

Question

We recently launched a web site developed with DNN.

Analyzing the log files, I see files with .axd extension as resources accessed together with pages. The problem is that I see a heavy traffic on these .axd files.

By heavy traffic, I mean hits, visits and data transferred.

My questions are: 1- Why do I see these .axd files within the pages accessed, while in the old site made with normal .net, I never saw them? Samples of these files names:WebResource.axd, DXR.axd, ScriptResource.axd

2- Do the hits, visits and data transferred I see on these .axd files count? In other words, if a page named "abc.aspx" is using WebResource.axd to load, then to get the total visitors on abc.aspx, I shall add both visitors up (those of .aspx and those of .axd?

3- Do the hits, visits and data transferred I see on these .axd files give me a false total traffic value? Actually, the traffic became suddenly 40% higher while I noticed that visitors and hits went much lower.

Thank you.

The AXD files are essentially DNN and ASP.NET handling resources, mainly javascript. Just as with other JS files, they are items loaded on a page request, so I would filter these out of "hits" analysis.

And is it the same for the GB traffic? – Amira Kamel Dec 11 '11 at 13:55
Do you mean the bandwidth associated with those files? – Chris Hammond Dec 12 '11 at 21:26
