Stats don't correspond, days to weeks totals

    I’ve just been looking at my stats page and noticed that the totals don’t match. I looked at last weeks total visitor hits and then went on the day page and added up the amount of visitors for last week. They are completely two different totals. How can this be and has anyone else notices this?

    Hello retroracers –

    There are several reasons for this – The weekly unique visitors figure can sometimes be less than the sum of daily visitors for the same week. This occurs when the same visitor appears multiple times during the week. (The same goes for unique weekly visitors being less than your monthly visitors number, and so on.)

    You may also notice that your visitor count lags behind your views count. This is due to the way we process the numbers. Typically a view is reported within five minutes, while it can take up to two hours for new visitors to show up in your stats.

    Also, post and page views are included in your site’s total views, but there are many views that aren’t tied to a post or page URL. The front pages, category, tag, date, and author archive pages, and search result pages are all examples of other views that only count towards total views.

    You can find this and more on our Stats support page:

    I hope that helps!
