 * Hi there
 * We are an agency based in Zürich. For all our websites we use Kokos analytics
   wich is a very cool plugin!
 * Recently I checked the statistics for the year 2023. Kokos is showing around 
   4000 visitors for the whole year.
 * Comparing the data with the hosting statistics of Infomaniak we discovered that
   there are much more visitors > around 100000 !!
 * Could you explain why there is such an difference in the data?
 * We are a bit surprised that the data of Kokos Analytics seems not to be correct!
   
   Do you have any idea about?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcorrect-statistics%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@r2ymedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/r2ymedia/),
 * Couple of reasons I can think of:
    - Infomaniak might be counting bots, whereas Koko Analytics excludes these.
    - Your website receives a lot of visitors with an ad-blocker installed. Despite
      Koko Analytics being privacy-friendly and only storing aggregated counts, 
      it’s still included on a popular ad-block filter list (called “EasyPrivacy”)
      which a lot of ad-blockers use. Therefore, anyone using an ad-blocker will
      not be counted by Koko Analytics.
 * Personally I think reason #1 accounts for the majority here, as there is a lot
   of traffic by bots these days (ie search engines, AI language models, web scrapers).
   For your webhost this traffic is relevant because it is still eating into your/
   their bandwidth, but for Koko Analytics it usually isn’t.
   As long as you are 
   comparing apples to apples, I wouldn’t worry about it. Ie compare Koko Analytics
   numbers to previous Koko Analytics numbers and not to other tools.
 * Regards,
   Danny
