My blog traditionally doesn’t have heavy traffic (usually less than 10 hits/day, according to Jetpack). Yet, WP Statistics says that my traffic is up in the thousands of hits per day. Which one is right?
I am sensing that a lot of these hits are spoofing IP addresses for whatever reason. How good is your tool at excluding bots and crawlers and the like? The reason I suspect this, is that, nearly every day, a lot of those hits are to the same page at nearly the same time by visitors from several different IP addresses, often based in different countries. This sounds improbable, yet it happens several times each day for me.
Other days, It would say that I have this incredibly high traffic (5000+ hits/day), yet not a single hit to my home page.
Am I right in suspecting most of these visits are not from real humans?
I am running my blog as a hobby, and at this point I am not doing this for money, and currently am not publicizing myself anywhere. But since I know you need to refer to something, it is at stridersjournal.net

]]>I’m experiencing some major discrepancies between data in GA4 and data shown on Site Kit. We only have 1 website and property on GA4. When looking at the stats for some of our blogs:
This happens to other web pages as well. Can you please help explain why this is the case?
Thanks!
]]>Currently, I’m using WP Statistics, Jetpack, and Analytify (which tracks Google Analytics, so I’ll refer directly to the GA stats). I’ve been using WP Stats and Jetpack since the inception of my blog a year ago, and I only recently installed Analytify since many advertisers only accept GA stats with their blogger applications. My problem is that GA and Jetpack are only showing roughly 10 percent (often less) of the blog traffic being reflected by WP Stats.
Here is some information. I DO have WP Stats set up to exclude admin hits, bots, and spiders. I DO NOT have GA or Jetpack set up for these exclusions, only to see if the numbers would go up and to isolate this as the problem. The numbers have not gone up.
As an example, for November 16, WP Stats shows I had 1,322 visits and 803 visitors. Jetpack showed 141 visits and 100 visitors for that day, and GA showed 160 visits and 108 users. Since the GA and Jetpack stats are close to each other, you’d think those were more accurate, right? However, I use Commission Junction for affiliate advertising, and CJ reflected 765 impressions for November 16. An impression is recorded through code embedded in the ad and is only counted when the page with that ad is opened and viewed.
Thinking this might be a re-direct issue (since my directory site at www.spintheglobe.net/dir redirects to www.spintheglobe.net), I took a look at stats for one of the static websites I have. My WordPress travel agency website (spintheglobetravel.net) is having the same problem as my blog. For November 16, WP Stats shows I had 558 visits and 154 visitors. Jetpack showed only 2 visits for that day, and GA showed 5 views and 3 users. While I may be in some sort of denial that my blog isn’t performing nearly as well as WP stats has led me to believe, I also have a hard time believing that 90 percent or more of the hits WP Stats is recording is just bots, spiders, or web crawlers. Can someone please help?
]]>Plugin is working well on two sites but one site had week counts the same as the daily count and the month count much less than sum of graph. I am referring to the table summary in the widget. Counts recorded on graph were much higher and reflect what I expect for visitor numbers for this site.
I have deleted and reinstalled this plugin. I hope that will solve the issue.
Hence I am posting this just to let others be aware of this issue.

]]>However, this plugin, WP-Spamshield, is listed on each site’s list of plugins and can be activated there.
Ultimately, this Multisite Enhancements is not listing all plugins active on all sites…
Otherwise This is a great plug-in. Kudos for integrating it seamlessly with the theme and plugin admin pages.
Oh and for what it’s worth I see that you’ve added an ID column to the Sites listing – though it’s redundant… Or perhaps the Domain Mapping plugin adds the same column?

]]>on my blog (hosted by WordPress), the following is displayed: “You are following this blog, along with 275 other amazing people.”
When I go to the admin menu, however, I see that I’ve got only 29 followers (16 WordPress.com followers and 13 Email-only followers).
I did not connect to any social media accounts via Publicize, meaning that under “Sharing”, no social media account is connected.
Why is there this discrepancy in terms of follower numbers, and how can I access the 275 followers (if they exist)?
Thanks,
Daniel
