No. That’s the point of visits: a single ‘session’ by a single person is ONE visit to your site as a whole. Visits are synonymous with sessions. A single session that touches on a particular document once is ONE visit to a particular document. Whatever the context may be — your site, a folder, one page — a visit is ONE session that touches that context. The goal of visits is to measure user ‘sessions’. For most customers this is the desired behavior. While an access is a single request for anything on your server, a visit consists of one or more accesses by a single visiting machine, with no more than a certain time interval between. Visits are a much more truthful count of distinct user experiences with your website. Also, remember that Wusage 7.X does not display the current day *in progress* for weekly reporting and up. Wait until the first update after Day X is over. Or look at the report for Day X itself if you have daily reporting turned on.
