Added temporary fix via following condition:
if( time() - strtotime($myvisitor->visit_time) < 3601) {
echo '<script>console.log("Visit too soon!")</script>';
return;
}
The strange extra visits were coming from the default Woocommerce install. Woocommerce has added an image preloader of some kind.
I’m not really getting anywhere with host or with my own investigation. Could I modify the counter to only count visits happening 1 time within a time threshold. For example 5 minutes. So even if they are 1 second apart it will not recount?
Whatever you need. Thank you very much for looking into this.
