 * I installed this plugin on my site and 5 seconds after I installed it said I 
   had 17 hits really. So in one hr I could have 2500 to 4000 hits I do not thinks
   so. This plugin is counting every spam junk and hacking bot as hits, it is also
   counting every time you refresh the site as another hit. Please fix these things
   I like this plugin.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstats-are-wrong%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * It should be fixed by now.
    We only count visitors by sessions. Same as google
   analytics.

    There should be a function to offset the starting number.
