Why Deleted Articles Show Views in Explore

Discover why deleted or unpublished articles still show views in Explore. Learn about translation and browser-related factors.

Why do deleted or unpublished articles still get views in Explore?

Deleted or unpublished articles might still get views in Explore due to multiple translations or browser behavior. If an article has multiple translations and only one is deleted, the others might still receive views.

Additionally, Explore relies on the user's web browser to register activity. If a user's internet connection is interrupted or their browser crashes, the view might be registered later when they reconnect or restart their browser. This means that while the view is legitimate, the timing of when it is recorded might not reflect when it actually occurred.
