  That sounds odd.

  No, this is correct. However, phpOpenTracker's default behaviour is
  to ignore the reload of the same document as a page impression.

  In example 1 one page impression is counted, since the second request
  is a reload. In example 2 three page impressions are counted.

    Example 1:

      A -> A

    Example 2:

      A -> B -> A

  You can change this by setting the log_reload configuration
  directive in your phpOpenTracker.ini.

  Sounds like a good idea.
