Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I figured I'd ask people that probably know the answer

So... I've had two consistent readers for my fic so far, and a third one has started posting, but I see a lot more than 3 new page views every time I put up a chapter. The view count shoots up at least 20 times. I know if I view my own post it doesn't count the page views at all. But how do page views work for other people?

Let's say person A visits the page after I make a new post. This increments the view counter by 1. If person A refreshes the page, will this increment the view counter again?

I'm just puzzled, either I'm misunderstanding how page views work, or I have quite a few lurkers reading my fic. Here's to hoping it's the latter. ^^;

Anyway, answer would be appreciated, thanks!
