Visitor stats on posts wrong

Posted in: Newspaper

Good Evening,

I noticed a strong discrepancy between the visitor stat on the posts and the actual visits.
For example: this is a the most popular post this year: https://egzostive.com/the-ultimate-2023-car-show-and-events-list/
According to WP stats, it has 3527 views this year (plus a few in 2022 December).
If I open the link, the stat only mentions 681.

There are quite a few similar cases (I posted a question about it in May, and this element remained unfinished).

Also I noticed that pagination and the Tagdiv gallery also did not add to the stats, which would actually make sense.

A higher number would help to take the website more seriously, but the current numbers are actually well below even the “real” page hit stats (as reported by WP/Jetpack).

I would be grateful for your suggestions.

Best regards
Z

Hello!

The view counter is based on ajax: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ajax-view-count/
Make sure there isn’t a plugin conflict with it.
We will also test this feature with the proposed WP and Jetpack solutions, and we will improve it if some glitches are found.

Thank you!

Thank you for the reply.
I enabled it in the theme settings, but still shows the very low number.

This is misleading, so even not showing any number would be better.
Is there a way to turn off this stat feature at the posts?

Hello!

You can disable it and delete the element from the TagDiv Composer.

Thank you!
