  This may sound like a dumb question but I’m still learning how to use WP so, what is the difference between views and visitors?

  Hi, not a problem, we’re happy to help. I think that the support documentation can explain this better than I can: 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).

  Let us know if you have any further questions or issues. :)
