666319 - [WT] Evaluate automatic link tracking cost v benefits

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Laura Forrest]

Now that automatic link tracking has been deployed on Mozilla.org since 6/16 let's track the % increase in hits to the Webtrends server that has resulted in order to see if we will stay within our contractual hit limit with WT. 

Brad - can you see how many hits we sent the week before, vs the week after, this change? Numbers may be a bit high due to our Fx5 release on 6/21 but should still give us a better idea than we have now.

Update on this - Moz.org hits increased 15% by doing this. 

Next Step: Brad to check our contract to see if a increase like this will affect our current agreement.

Specifically, if the Product Pages and Mozilla.com (50% sample) increase by 15% hits. Thanks.

So you are provisioned for 5 billion server calls starting as of 3/22/2011.  You are currently at 783 million, so you have 84.33% left.

Doing some quick math:

If click track results in 15% more server calls, then (all else being equal) you would be at roughly 900 million server calls assuming click tracking has been on since 3/22/2011.

So given we’re about 25% of the way through your contract year (3/22 –  6/29 is roughly 3 months) if we were to extrapolate out to the renewal date of your contract 3/22/2012, we would expect roughly 3.6 billion server calls, let’s say 4 billion which is still only 80% of your limit.
