Yes, that explanation is a little bit baffling. Referrers are not very reliable (increasingly missing). Maybe visits will just not be very accurate with this.

- lucb1e 6y agoCitation on "increasingly missing" please. I tried finding out more about that for security reasons (a customer of ours checks the referer for anti-CSRF purposes and it seems to work perfectly fine in any browser so long as you don't do something like https->http posting) but from what I saw it was actually quite reliable and add-ons that block it are rather rare even among privacy what privacy nuts generally recommend to install.
- baggy_trough 6y agoPerhaps I'm thinking of the page part of the referrer URL. If the domain is reliably sent, that's good as far as it goes.
