- **More accurate pageview counts.** Refreshing a page no longer inflates your pageview numbers. The tracking script now detects when the same page is loaded again within a few seconds and skips the duplicate, so metrics like total pageviews, pages per session, and visit duration reflect real navigation instead of reload habits. - **More accurate pageview counts.** Refreshing a page no longer inflates your pageview numbers.
