Hi @supernovia. I reverted the draft 4 days ago, that is, March 3 of 2019. As you can see at my wordpress now, they’re all posts about books. The posts I reverted are articles about travelling, about 23 posts, and I’ve checked it on guest windows and other computer accounts to make sure the wordpress appears as I want. Only posts about books and nothing more.
After that, I saw statistics about someone from my country and overseas read those posts about travelling. I can’t tell you the links as I’ve sent them to my drafts. Or do you need the titles?

Hi there,
Most likely those posts are still cached in the Reader for people who had visited them before you set them to draft. That would allow those people to view the posts in the Reader again, which would register as page views in your stats. As this is data that’s stored directly in their browser cache on their computers, we have no control over this and no way to prevent them from accessing that content.
I’ve confirmed that the posts you’ve set to draft are no longer appearing in the Reader feed for your site (see https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/42007842), so new people opening your site’s feed won’t see those posts. But people who still have those posts cached might be able to still access them until their browser cache for the Reader updates.
