Hi!
My new brand installed Discourse site has only 3 users registered.
In `Dashboard>API Requests> Logged In` it shows up `213` for `Today`.
What does this number mean? I know for sure there max 2 users logged in.

That’s a pretty reasonable number. That means that one (or both) of you did a lot of browsing around. Basically each click + each 20-post chunk of a topic counts as 1 in there.

I see.
So it counts clicks as logins…

No, no. The whole table is counting clicks. That’s just the “logged in users” bucket, as opposed to the “anonymous” and “crawlers” buckets.

Reminder I want to change this to page views now that we have confidence in the numbers.

Ok this is done, the copy was changed to `Pageviews` from `API Requests` now that we’ve had a fair bit of time to verify these numbers and feel confident about them.
