For the longest time now, I have been using Jeff Minnard’s WP ShortStats plugin on most of my blogs and the ones I setup for others. Easily installs and works like a charm. You get to see your blog’s performance because it’s just right there in your WP Dashboard.
I’ve been using other stats tools (Analytics WP Plugin, Statscounter, Performancing) as well just to compare the numbers and though there are discrepancies with the numbers (10-20%) in between them, you get to see the trend from the averages.
However, WP Shortstats seems to be on steroids when activated with my blog. See what rampage it’s causing here:
That’s some serious number crunching. That number is nowhere close to what the other stats are telling me. That’s almost 4 times what I get according to Analytics.
Something is wrong. Anybody using this plugin and noticing the same bug? I have eight other blogs with this plugin installed and they don’t overshoot this much.
