Need a little react help

Hello family, its been a while. So for my site I wanted to save a simple count of users visited. I wrote this code:
"use client";

import { useMutation } from "convex/react";
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { api } from "../../convex/_generated/api";
import useLocalStorage from "@/hooks/useLocalStorage";

const GlobalStatsTracker = () => {
  const [viewCounted, setViewCounted] = useLocalStorage<"no" | "yes">(
    "view_counted",
    {
      defaultValue: "no",
    }
  );
  const updateGlobalStats = useMutation(api.global_kv.updateGlobalStats);

  useEffect(() => {
    console.table({
      viewCounted,
      "window.location.host.includes('localhost')":
        window.location.host.includes("localhost"),
      "typeof window === 'undefined'": typeof window === "undefined",
    });

    if (typeof window === "undefined") return;
    if (viewCounted === "yes") return;
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") return;

    updateGlobalStats({ total_users_visited: true })
      .then(() => {
        setViewCounted("yes");
      })
      .catch(console.error);
  }, [viewCounted]);

  return null;
};

export default GlobalStatsTracker;
"use client";

import { useMutation } from "convex/react";
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { api } from "../../convex/_generated/api";
import useLocalStorage from "@/hooks/useLocalStorage";

const GlobalStatsTracker = () => {
  const [viewCounted, setViewCounted] = useLocalStorage<"no" | "yes">(
    "view_counted",
    {
      defaultValue: "no",
    }
  );
  const updateGlobalStats = useMutation(api.global_kv.updateGlobalStats);

  useEffect(() => {
    console.table({
      viewCounted,
      "window.location.host.includes('localhost')":
        window.location.host.includes("localhost"),
      "typeof window === 'undefined'": typeof window === "undefined",
    });

    if (typeof window === "undefined") return;
    if (viewCounted === "yes") return;
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") return;

    updateGlobalStats({ total_users_visited: true })
      .then(() => {
        setViewCounted("yes");
      })
      .catch(console.error);
  }, [viewCounted]);

  return null;
};

export default GlobalStatsTracker;

which works fine but for some reason every page refresh the
updateGlobalStats
updateGlobalStats
is called even when the view has been set in local storage? This should not happen

viewCounted    'yes'
window.location.host.includes('localhost')    true
typeof window === 'undefined'    false
viewCounted    'yes'
window.location.host.includes('localhost')    true
typeof window === 'undefined'    false

This is the console output.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
