    the5krunner.
   com/category/news,review/
 * this category will have many thousands of hits/views in real world usage.

 * Hi [@the5krunner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the5krunner/) –
 * Are these new pages? It looks like the stats code is present on the pages, but
   that they haven’t collected enough visits yet to register.

 * hi
    no they’re not new categories. i can see they’re cranking up the views/hits
   on google analytics as i write (and have been for months)
 * I use that URL as a menu link and i discovered a convoluted way to make it the
   amp home page on mobile (this forces a better homepage on mobile on my theme)
 * I’m not even sure if WordPress counts categories as hits/views – this suggests
   they should be counted [https://wordpress.com/support/stats/](https://wordpress.com/support/stats/)

 * Hi there
 * Categories are tracked in WordPress.com sites, but currently not in Jetpack-connected
   sites I’m afraid.
 * We have an open enhancement request for this here: [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/12968](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/12968)
 * I’ve added your request there, and you can follow that issue for updates, but
   we don’t have any immediate plans to add this for Jetpack sites.
