Stats are completely different to Jetpack's

    Hi,

    I’ve recently started using this Stats plugin, but the stats compared to Jetpack’s page visit stats are totally different.

    Today for instance, WP Stats reported almost 100 visitors and 330 visits, compared to Jetpack’s 26.

    What would be the reason for the huge discrepancy?

    Thanks.

    From the FAQ:

    Pretty much every plugin/service is going to give you different results for visits and visitors, there are several reasons for this:

    ?Web crawler detection
    ?Detection method (javascript vs server side PHP)
    ?Centralized exclusions

    Services that use centralized databases, like Google Analytics, for spam and robot detection have better detection than WP Statistics can. The trade off of course is relaying on an external service.
