Nice! I didnât actually know we had access to our author stats, cool. What is the difference between âviewsâ and âreadsâ?
Also, how âtrueâ do you think these numbers are? They seem rather surprisingly high to me, could there just be a bunch of bots racking up numbers?
Hi Oscar, thanks for flagging that bug, Iâll look into it and reply here when itâs fixed.
To answer your other question: The âreadsâ number should be pretty reliable, we donât tend to get bots that load the page for long enough to trigger the necessary timer events (or deliberately fake these events). The views number is more likely to be off, as there are some bots that can trigger the page view event.

(answered my own question - âreadâ means stayed on page >30s).
However, one of my posts has a negative bounce rate, seems like a bug! Or maybe my post was just that engaging ;)
