Web traffic, the main subject of this text, is an essential aspect of digital business. In simple terms, it refers to the number of people visiting a site web[4]. These visits, also known as ‘hits,’ provide valuable data about the website’s popularity and performance. Analysis of this data, known as analyse web[3], helps businesses understand visitor behavior and optimize their online presence. Monitoring web traffic can also highlight potential issues, like traffic overload, which can slow or crash a website. Various tools and strategies, such as Optimisation des moteurs de recherche[1] (SEO) and publicité en ligne[2], can increase web traffic. However, it’s important to manage this growth carefully to ensure the website can handle increased activity and isn’t overwhelmed. Additionally, limiting access to certain parts of the website or to certain users is another aspect of managing web traffic, which helps maintain security[5] and performance.

Trafic web is the data sent and received by visitors to a site web. Since the mid-1990s, web traffic has been the largest portion of Internet traffic. Sites monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic to see which parts or pages of their site are popular and if there are any apparent trends, such as one specific page being viewed mostly by people in a particular country. There are many ways to monitor this traffic, and the gathered data is used to help structure sites, highlight security problems or indicate a potential lack of bandwidth.
Not all web traffic is welcomed. Some companies offer publicité schemes that, in return for increased web traffic (visitors), pay for screen space on the site.
Sites also often aim to increase their web traffic through inclusion on search engines and through optimisation des moteurs de recherche.
