How does site stats count visits ? #8

Stats for June on one of my sites

That site is also monitored by Matomo June

I do not understand the HUGE difference.

Care to elaborate on that?

exekutive commented 3 months ago

does Matomo filter out webcrawler bots?

Ainz commented 3 months ago

Yes, it should. It is a competent Google Analytics alternative.

Edit/ A more relevant question is if Astat does filter anything at all...?

Some well known bots can be filtered by the No Stats For Robots extension. You could add a regex to its $bots array list in plugins/no_stats_for_robots/main.inc.php if a specific bot hits you violently.
