I bet many of them use Google Fonts, and with them auto-refreshing every 5 seconds all day long, they might get seriously overcounted.

I doubt that the fonts get reloaded when the page is refreshed. According to other posts in this thread, the cache TTL is 24 hours.

Most of these boards use kill -9 to restart the browser every half hour or so, and likely nuke the cache each time.
