Mandraled Hosting's CDN provides traffic and request data presented in charts to help users understand site performance metrics.
Accessing Statistics
Users can view CDN statistics through their hosting account package overview page by selecting Manage, then Statistics.
Key Metrics
Total Bandwidth & Hits:
- "Total Bandwidth" measures data sent through the CDN, split between cached (from CDN nodes) and uncached (from origin server) sources
- "Total Hits" counts files and sessions transferred, though this differs from unique visitor counts
- Users can filter statistics by time period using toggles
Traffic Distribution: The system displays geographic views of incoming requests, filterable by Last Hour, Last Day, or Last Week, with hover details for specific countries.
Bandwidth Categories
- Cached Bandwidth: Responses served from CDN cache
- Uncached Bandwidth: Responses served directly from backend servers
Request Analysis
Hit Types:
- Cached hits served from CDN cache
- Uncached hits served from backend servers
SSL vs Non-SSL: The dashboard compares HTTPS (encrypted) versus HTTP (unencrypted) requests. The guide recommends using 301 redirects or plugins to maximise HTTPS usage.
HTTP Status Codes:
- Successful requests (200–399 range)
- Error requests (400+ range, including 404 and 503 errors)
Users should monitor error logs if error request rates are elevated.
