Personally, I think the "Web" side of the referrer page is currently a mess with all kinds of views coming from different parts of NU and mostly, they come from simply the tiny pin for SH on the site which is why they are scrambled everywhere.
My suggestion to clean the referrer page a bit is to stack them by hostname, so instead of having a thousand links that are from NU, you can have something like:
Referrer. Views.
novelupdates.com 1000 views
reddit.com. 5 views
google.com. 5 views
Naturally, people will always want to see the full links sometimes (especially in cases like Reddit) which is why you could also place a switch, a dropdown or turn the hostname into an anchor link which will turn everything from that hostname into a full link (basically explode it, you could make it redirect to a page like https://www.scribblehub.com/editseries/299262/?tab=stats&referrer=novelupdates.com which would only contain all the links from that hostname which is novelupdates.com).
Anyhow, hope my suggestion made sense. If there is anything that needs more details then feel free to ask.
