    I get more comments per day than visitors. How is that possible?

    Hi there,

    “Visitor” in the stats page refers to a single browser session that connects to your site. During that browser session the same visitor can view multiple posts and pages on your site (generating “View” stats), and leave multiple comments. But as long as all that happens during the same browser session, i.e. without that visitor completely closing the browser tab in which they loaded your site, all that activity counts as one visit.

    It is also possible that some visitors to your site are using tracking blockers in their browser. That wouldn’t prevent them from viewing your site and commenting on stuff, but it will completely prevent us from detecting them for stats purposes. From our end there’s nothing we can do to get around something like that.
