  • Multiple Web Servers Usage Report
    How frequently are more than one web server used on one site, and which ones? Shows for each web server statistics on the usage together with other web servers. We identify here usage on the same site, not necessarily on the same page.
  • Cross-Technologies Market Segmentation Reports
