Why post view count and google analytics show different amounts of views?
Site shows 92759 views and google analytics shows 187 650 unique views and 328 924 total views for this post
ajax view count is enabled and I have WP Super Cache plugin enabled.
Thanks,

Hi,
The view counter can be change, stop or reset, also you have the possibility to set manually the number of view, go in posts and enable the custom fields -> https://i.imgur.com/NavHTFn.png after that down in post will appear the the custom field options -> https://i.imgur.com/waKZBHe.png chnage it -> https://i.imgur.com/NAFEi9p.png and check the results.
The theme will count using the theme counter and analytics counts using it’s own counter. There is no simple way to make them both work using the same parameters.The real and unique value for your visitors is given by Google Analytics. Our post view counter will count any post-visualization, even if the post is visited twice by the same person and that’s why appear that difference.
Thank you!
I think caching is making the difference. I am seeing a huge difference between the views shown in both the backend and frontend, and what my analytics tool is showing.
The analytics tool uses Javascript, which executes every time the page is viewed whether it is cached or not. I think that WordPress/Newspaper uses PHP, which is cached and not executed.
