The focus of eValid is on end-user response and behavior.
Your typical user does NOT stream the list if page URLs that go to compose a page...each one of which, relative to server technology, is a "hit. Having a lot of "hits" does not make a page any better or worse.
Let's put it this way: Hit counts are for dummies.
Instead, eValid focuses on end-user data like the total bytecount in a page, the total time to load a page, the time it took to synchronize a page, or how much time elapsed between one step of a test and another. Time and space are the two main primitive quantities being measured.
If two pages each have 100 KB of data, one with two URLs and one with twenty, the hit count for the second is 10 X the hit count for the first, but they may appear -- and behave -- identicaly from the perspective of the users. It's the user perspective that counts most.
