What Do You Have?

No I’m not asking about anything that might be classified as contagious, but what do you call those who for whatever reason make a request of your web server to serve up a page.
On Website To Dos and the blog I have tended to use the generic “visitor” as I have no way of knowing what sort of web site my visitors/readers/whatevers might have. I associate readers more with blogs as other websites may have goals that do not involve repeat visitors (and I was interested to see Problogger also classify a reader as somebody who returns)
If you have a web application/service then you might have users. (And I have to admit that as my day job is as a programmer I frequently have to replace an accidental “user” with “visitor” in my drafts 
)
Any of the above can, I feel, be subsumed within the term “audience”.
What else can you have?
