    hi,
    i love koko-analytics, especially for its privacy protection;
    one question keeps coming back to me though: what is the relationship between the total number of visitors in the heading and the visitors numbers per page below it?
    if i add up all the visitors numbers per page it’s much more than the total number of visitors in the heading; what am i missing?
    if it says: total number of visitors in the heading = 100
    number of visitors for
    page 1 = 30
    page 2 = 30
    page 3 = 30
    does this mean that a visitor of both page 1 and page 2 will be counted in the heading as 1 visitor?

    Visitor: A person visiting the site. They are counted once.
    View: Each time a person (re)loads a page on your site, one visitor can result in multiple views.

    In the page views table not all pages / possible locations on your site are shown so the totals may not add up the same as the total on top.

    @lapzor if we go by the logic GA employs, that reloading by the same person should be counted as both a pageview (what koko does) and a unique pageview (combined into one view for the same person no matter if they reload the page 15 times).
