Profile views counter increases when owner account opens profile page #34

Closed helitopia closed 3 weeks ago

helitopia commented 1 month ago

Hi, Thank you for creating such a great service

Just wanted to inquire whether it is expected behavior that when I open my profile page, then refresh it - the profile view counter increases by 1 every time

It is just unfortunate that such behavior may render the statistic imprecise as I am not sure that views of your own profile should be considered.

Opened profile page: image

Refreshed the page: image

Could it be fixed (or at least given choice to configure somehow), if possible?

Thank you!

@helitopia , all requests go through the GitHub Camo:

If you upload an image or video to GitHub, the URL of the image or video will be modified so your information is not trackable.
