Question about who's online

[wickeddivine]

Hello!

I just have a question about the who's online section in the admin.

I've noticed that a lot of times there is a "guest" on the site that doesn't move from the index page of the catalog. Due to the length of time they are there, I don't think it's an actual person. I can't imagine someone going to my site and staring at the index page for 5 minutes lol, because there's not that much to look at there.

Could this be a search engine spidering the site or something?

Could be. or it could simply be someone with the IQ of a Tic-Tac. ;)

 

Run a trace on the IP and see what comes up. :)

They could have clicked on your page then click right off, having only been there for a second or two. Who's Online shows for approx. 15 minutes after the last click. The minutes ago call by default is 900 seconds.

Hope this helps.

Oh, I see. I didn't think that it would stay on there after the person had left. Thank you. :)

It would be cool if there were a contrib. that showed search engines in the who's online.

For instance, I have this Invision Board on one of my sites, and you can set it to show search engine names in the online users list when they are there, like "googlebot", etc.....
