    Good morning,
    I think the pageview totals don’t add up.
    Example :

    • left pane, total page views 131
    • but right pane, total pages viewed by referrs:
      google.com 53
      google.fr 19
      bing.com 4
      facebook.com 4
      google.be 1
      docs.google.com 1
      Totals: 82 page views

    131 but 82 pages ?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    No, the platform does not allow you to take a screenshot :

    Example :

    198 -43%

    147 less than previous period

    Total pageviews

    360-37%

    214 less than previous period

    Realtime pageviews

    51

    Hello @led69,

    The numbers in the left block (your most viewed pages) and the right block (website with most referrerals to your site) are not supposed to add up. Some people could be ending up on your site via other means, for example:

    • Direct traffic, typing the URL in the browser address bar or clicking a bookmark. Or link in their email client.
    • From websites not sharing referrer information. All websites on the internet can control whether to send a referrer URL via a referrer policy, so not all websites sending traffic to your website can be counted.
    • Someone following a link from Google.com to your website will add a count of 1 to the google.com referrerals. If that visitor then views 2 pages on your site, it will increment your total number of pageviews by 2.

    So in other words, it is perfectly fine for these numbers to not add up. I hope this explains.
