There are several computer definitions for the word hits. If someone accesses your website, that is called a hit. Results on a search engine are also called hits.

This word is also related to caching. When data that is already in the cache is reused, that is called a hit. When data cannot be found in the cache, that is called a miss. The idea of the caching scheme is to be good at predicting hits and thus improve performance. If everything is a miss, then the cache is useless and may actually be reducing performance.
