can anyone help me understand 'failed request'

ecchi · 2012-06-26, 05:48 AM

The only thing I can think of that would both fail to fulfil a request but also show up on the stats is if the server is running slow and cannot even start sending the page before timing out. (Possible causes; too narrow a pipe for the quantity of traffic, too little processing power for the quantity of scripts, too slow a hard drive for the number of requests.) However I am no hosting guru, this knowledge comes from using a crap German hosting company many years back, so you really need to ask someone who runs servers for a living. (I was not going to reply, I expected some such person to do so. But as no one has, I thought my little knowledge would be better than nothing.)
