Private WP site but still gets views
-
I’d like to ask if there’s anything I missed on creating a private wp site. I tried testing it by publishing a new post and expected completely no stats or whatsoever about the number of views it would get (because I thought making the site private won’t allow views from anyone apart from the author of the blog himself) but it still got some. So, is there anything I missed/misunderstood? Thank you in advance!

I think with private sites, the owner’s page views are counted… at least according to this old post: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/watch-your-traffic-grow-with-sparklines/

Private sites count page views of logged in users – else there would never be a page view
public sites do not count page views of logged in users
