hit

In computing, request sent to a file server.

Sites on the World Wide Web often measure their popularity in numbers of hits. However, this is misleading, as a single Web page may be made up of many files, each of which counts as a hit when a user downloads the whole page. Counting individual visits is a better indication of a site's success.

Town in Iraq, on the River Euphrates, 150 km/93 mi northwest of Baghdad. In ancient times (when the town was called Is) there were bitumen and naphtha pits here. Hit is now an important oilfield centre.
