Almost every day I get a hit from France in my stats. What’s weird is this person from France is always reading the exact same blog post–a short story published three years ago.

Is this hit from France a real person who’s strangely obsessed with my fictional take on biblical Ehud’s assassination of Eglon, or is it a web crawler of some sort?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @jennethd, my guess is that someone added the post to their favorites in a browser or browser tool that shows site previews for favorites. Those previews can count as a view.
