  Hello,

  I am contacting you on behalf of SS&C regarding stat information. If I’m looking at each blog post’s stats, would those be unique – meaning if I looked at the blog post 3 times would it still only count as 1 view? Or does it count views for every time any person views the blog post, no matter if it’s their 1st or 10th time.

  Thank you,
  Kayla

  Hi there!

  This is from https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors:

  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).

  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.

  This chart also includes tabs for viewing stats for likes and comments on your site in a given period.

  Hope that helps!

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
