### 🔗 URL Statistics

#### 🎯 Purpose

The **URL Statistics** section reveals which endpoints on your system are receiving the most attention — whether legitimate or malicious.

#### 📌 Key Components

* **Total Visits**: Global request count to all URLs.
* **Unique URLs**: Count of distinct endpoints accessed.
* **Top Requested URLs**: Lists the most visited endpoints (e.g. login, API, or admin paths).
* **URL Chart View**: Visual bar representation of visit volume per endpoint.

#### ⚠️ Observations

* Frequently accessed admin or login pages may be under attack.
* Repeated hits on unusual URLs could suggest vulnerability scanning.

#### ✅ Use Cases

* Detect brute-force or enumeration attempts.
* Optimize caching or endpoint performance based on usage.
* Identify exposure of unintended paths (e.g. test or backup routes).
