  That brings my total North Korean "hits" in Google Analytics to 2. Other was several years ago. 0:00 time on site in both cases. Hmm

  GA calculates time on site as the difference in timestamps between two pageviews so if there's only one pageview time on site will be 0

  Google Analytics is apparently quite easy to block, and they would want to. Could be visiting regularly. Add pixel tracking?
