Also, keep in mind that the growing prevalence of tracker blockers (now built into Firefox and Safari), plays a role here. The share counters on Facebook and Twitter are strict counters (“How many times was that URL shared here?”) whereas view stats are still reliant on embedded trackers that are becoming increasingly blocked (this is true for Jetpack, Google Analytics, Matomo, and any embedded stats system).

If you are talking about a site on WordPress dot com you might touch base with them on what info, stats and traffic numbers they might provide.
Keep in mind anyone offering stats may have an agenda that benefits in skewing numbers to make their results look better, more productive, or more enticing to depend on.
the truth lies somewhere in or outside of most of that.
