A simple question: the number of views of this post doubled in 24h, but when i look at the incoming traffic sources, I see no additional views?

Is it because of bots?

I noticed the view counter is super high compared to my site’s analyics. I think from bot traffic tbh.

I’d recommend you use [Plausible.io](http://Plausible.io) instead of relying on the view counter.
