  Hi, could WordPress please explain what does it mean by Visitors in the stats? This is a new stats feature which showed up today.

  Also, how is it possible to have 1 view and no visitors?

  L.o.v.e. the feature by the way.

  Thanks.

  Oh, ok, unique visitors. And two hour lag. Thanks jblz.

  archindeed: notice the blurb in the support document about visitor calculation being delayed up to 2 hours. Stay tuned for more info on this feature — glad you like it! :)

  Very poor language visitors and views. Should be the case that if you view the page you by definition are visitor that does not seem to be so since it’s possible to have 10 views and no visitors.
