Why did my Paligo documentation page views jump?
The Paligo help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Page views count every load and reload of a page, so readers refreshing pages or coming back to them raise page views without more readers.
What causes it?
Page views count every load and reload of a page, so readers refreshing pages or coming back to them raise page views without more readers.
In the Paligo help:
Counts the total number of times a page on a website was loaded or reloaded in a browser, over the specified time period.
Nexus Analytics, read 2026-11-12.If your HTML5 documentation uses the Mixpanel integration with hash tag tracking on, reading down into subsections is tracked too, so Mixpanel can show more activity than whole page loads.
In the Paligo help:
Enable Mixpanel track hash tag in URL if you want Mixpanel to track when the user scrolls down the page to read subsections.
Mixpanel Integration, read 2026-11-12.If the page address also updates as a reader scrolls to a subsection, Mixpanel can track each change of address, which adds to the activity it records.
In the Paligo help:
Mixpanel can then track the change to the URL.

How do I check it myself?
If you use the Mixpanel integration, check whether subsection tracking is on; with it off, only top-level sections are tracked.
In the Paligo help:
Disable it if you only want to track top-level sections.
Mixpanel Integration, read 2026-11-12.Look at the list of referring websites to see which outside sites brought the extra visits.
In the Paligo help:
Lists the external websites sending the most traffic to your site, ranked by sessions or visits generated from each source.

How does Paligo work with Feder?
- Connect Paligo to Feder and it joins your Visits apps.
- When you connect Paligo, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Paligo, one of your Visits apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Paligo.
