 * I suspect that the counter is inaccurate. My wordpress stats will show several
   hundred visitors to a post, but the Live Counter will show that several thousand
   visitors have come. I’ve doube-checked the WordPress stats for several posts 
   dating back a week or so, but their stats haven’t increased to help explain Live
   Counter’s stats. I’ll admit I kind of enjoy seeing that stat grow but want to
   make sure it’s accurate.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fovercounting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
