As of a few days ago, one of the people in my “crushes” pane seems to be gobbling up an impossible number of pages (188, where most other people have only a couple or so). This is obviously in error, and this particular record seems to actually show hits of other people. So there seems to be some bug or corruption. Anyone else seen this or know how to fix it or reset the crushes pane?
Thanks!
Have you recently changed hosts or servers?
nope. Although I did just update (dreamhost automatic update) to wordpress 2.6 from 2.5
What is the IP address of the hungry viewer? A couple of other people have been having issues with MSN servers crawling pages. I wonder if you are also a victim (if so you might have noticed some odd search terms recently as well).
I have noticed a bunch of those MSN searches before, and followed the steps in another post to exclude those IPs from reporting. Since tehn I have rearely seen those searches showing up. This is different I believe. It is really odd in that it is showing up in the crushes pane as a single user (that I know personally by the way, as she has left comments several times on my blog), but with an impossible number of pages viewed (hundreds compared to all other people showing one or two on average)
I can send a screen shot if you like…(where to?)
I wonder if that user is using a something like Google Web Accelerator and prefetching pages they aren’t actually viewing. But even if they were, prefetching wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) process the Mint JavaScript.
You can send a screen shot to mint@ this domain.
Just had a lightbulb moment. This problem has previously been linked to a conflict between the server and the visitor’s date/time settings. If the date/time on either end is off by more than your session time, cookies set by your server could be expiring immediately. First make sure your server’s GMT is correct. Then since you know the visitor you could check with them as well and make sure their date/time settings are correct (if their computer thinks it is in one timezone and they have manually set the time forward or back and hour that’s not a valid setting, they need to set the correct timezone or GMT will be off).
Thanks! I will check with that user, but I can’t see how it could be on the server since everyone else’s info is correct / cookies are not expiring immediately.
