Stats, viewer count set aback
-
Hi, I have a question about the viewer count on my Stats page.
At the moment, a have a post that went sort of viral (for my standards) on Facebook, and I have a lot more viewers than I’ve had ever before.
When I watched my stats, the viewer count was at 800 and counting. When it reached 900, it was suddenly set aback to 800 again.
This means, my Stats viewer count doesn’t count my viewers properly any more.Why did this happen?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @kleesbutterfly,
First, congrats on the success of that post. That’s awesome!
Regarding the stats, the good news is that it looks like your stats counter is counting stats correctly (the views have continued to go up).
When you noticed this blip, were you continuously refreshing your browser within a handful of minutes or did you check the stats on different devices (app vs. desktop, for example)? There are some behind the scenes processes that go on when loading your stats pages that could cause some small differences if you refresh the same page 10 times within the same minute. However, these “blips” work themselves out over an hour or so.
