Post Views Counter
Post Views Counter counts how many times your posts, pages and other content are viewed, shows those counts on your site, and helps you see which content works – right inside WordPress. No external tools. No bloat. Just the numbers you need to see what’s working. It counts two things: Views – Counted views of your selected posts, pages and other content, according to your counting settings. Views can be displayed on your site and used to sort content. Visits – A Visit starts with a browser’s first counted view and covers subsequent counted content views within the fixed Count Interval. Visits are shown as site-wide totals beside Views, not per post. Key Benefits Clarity, speed, and control: Clear, Focused Metrics – Views for every post and Visits for the whole site give you a clear picture of how your content is performing.
