  Hello there,

  It looks like joniwoods.com is a self-hosted WordPress site with Bluehost, which is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you’re using WordPress.com stats, please see this guide on how to block spam referrers here: https://wordpress.com/support/stats/#marking-spam-referrers

  I hope this helps!
