  I had 6 visitors and 127 views. It looks like there was a mistake/virus because I only have 13 posts total.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  A view is counted when a visitor loads or reloads a page. A visitor is counted when we see a user or browser for the first time in a given period (day, week, month).

  You may notice that weekly unique visitors is less than the sum of daily visitors for the same week. This occurs when the same visitor appears multiple times during the week.

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

  Yes, I am familiar with the differences between views and visitors but I don’t think 6 people can generate 127 views when there are only 13 posts total and earlier in the day there were a whopping 4 views across 3 visitors

  Could you please send the link of the page where you see this issue?

  Apparently 93 of those views went to the homepage.

  More than likely, they were from a search engine crawler or some other bot which we had not yet identified at the time, as today appears to be quite normal for you in stats.
