Title: @1 Current Visitors Online: General
Brief introduction on features.
Show the number of visitors to your website within the past X minutes, hours or days.
If the SSI tag is only placed at the main page of the website, the display should be:
There were X visitors reaching this page since the past Y minutes.
If the tag is place on EVERY page and Y is set to 1 minute or lower, then it would be quite accurate to say (since the date/time is updated on every reload):
There are currently X unique visitors at this website.
• On reload (repeated visit), the script checks for the same IP address recorded previously and update it to new date/time (hence no repeated count for the same visitor).
• If the IP address is not found (new visit), the script creates a new record (hence counter number goes up by 1).
• The script also checks the date/time of all records every time it is activated. If records' are older than X minutes (hours or days depending on your setting), those records are then deleted (hence counter number goes down).
