# Web Traffic Statistics Application

## Overview

Create a web application to show simple web traffic statistics for government sites and pages. The data being displayed is about the number of pageviews and visits to different domains and pages.

## Technologies

- **Database:** SQLite

- **Back end:** Asp.NET Core 8

## Application Description

The application will have one page, with:

- **Toggle:** Which view of the data to show.

- **Table:** The web traffic data.

### View 1: 'Page Path' View

- **Domain:** Domain of the website

- **Page Path:** URL of the page being viewed on that website

- **Pageviews:** Number of pageviews this page got in the past 90 days

- **Estimated Visits:** Inferred based on another database table (see more below)

### View 2: 'Domain' View

- **Domain:** Domain of the website

- **Pageviews:** Number of pageviews this domain got, across all its page paths

- **Estimated Visits:** Inferred based on another database table (see more below)

## Data Notes

See the `create-tables.sql` file to look at the table definitions. See the CSV files in the same folder to get an idea of the data itself. **Note:** The tables have already been created and the CSVs have already been imported into the SQLite database. These files are there for reference only.

One of the database tables, `path_pageviews`, has most of the data we will be using. It contains all the domains and page_paths, along with their pageviews.

The second table, `host_pageviews`, has domain-level data for pageviews and visits. (Note that the column in this table called `hostname` is equivalent to the column called `domain` in the other table.) The purpose of this table is to let us know how visits and pageviews relate for a given domain.

The **Estimated Visits** column is inferred by matching the domain and hostname, and then using the pageviews from `path_pageviews` and the ratio of visits per pageview in `host_pageviews`. For example, if we have 100 pageviews for a given page path, and its corresponding domain in the `host_pageviews` table has 500 pageviews and 250 visits, the estimated visits for that page path would be 50.
