Post Views Increase Only On The First Unique Visit Of A User

Components

The view counter of a post.

Proposal

The view counter of a post located at the bottom of a post should consider only the first unique visit by a viewer. Thereupon, when the viewer refreshes the post or visits it repeatedly, the views should not increase.

Mockups / Examples

Now:

• When view counter = 1
• User refreshes the post page 3 times
• New view counter = 4

After suggestion is implemented:

• When view counter = 1
• User refreshes the post page 3 times
• New view counter = 1

Benefits

1. The accuracy of view counter will greatly increase.
2. It will be more reliable for analysis purposes.
3. Polishes the overall website.
