Request for Assistance Regarding Deleted Websites and Data Recovery

Hits are requests made from clients (browsers) to your website. A single request is a single request, regardless of what actually runs on that request. It doesn’t matter what runs on that request, it may be a static file or a heavy PHP application, a hit is a hit. So the main driver of hits usage is website traffic, not website optimization. This is very different from, say, the CPU usage of your account which is heavily affected by website code. As for what’s causing the high hits usage on your site, I don’t know. We don’t store the access logs of websites so we have no way to check.
