  Hi there,

  The two main units of traffic measurement are views and unique visitors. 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).

  So if 1 person reads 3 posts on your site, that would be counted as 1 visitor and 3 views.
