Description

Post Views adds view count to AMP pages and posts from AMPforWP, automatically replicating in each AMP item the number of accesses recorded by the site’s traditional version. The integration works in plug and play mode, connecting to the WP-PostViews plugin to ensure consistency between regular content and that served in AMP, with responsive layout for desktop and mobile.

Main Features

  • Automatic application: inserts the view counter in all AMP posts and pages as soon as the addon is activated, with no need for manual configuration.
  • WP-PostViews compatibility: synchronizes the count displayed on AMP pages with the numbers recorded by the WP-PostViews plugin in the site’s traditional version.
  • Responsive layout: displays the counter adapted for desktop and mobile devices within the AMP template.
  • Broad content coverage: applies the count to all types of posts and pages served via AMP, maintaining the same behavior across the entire catalog.
  • Compatibility expansion: the AMPforWP team offers compatibility creation with other Post Views plugins if the one used on the site is not covered by default.

Benefits of Post Views

  • Consistent metrics: maintains the same count between the standard version and the AMP version, avoiding discrepancies in numbers between formats.
  • Quick deployment: eliminates the need to edit templates or adjust code to start displaying views on AMP.
  • Social signal on mobile: shows content popularity to visitors accessing via AMP pages, usually through search engines and social networks.
  • Support for editorial curation: makes it easier to identify which articles drive more readers in AMP traffic, helping to prioritize topics and highlights.

Who Is It For?

  • Blogs and news portals that serve content via AMP and use the WP-PostViews plugin.
  • Editors who need to display article popularity metrics also in the accelerated mobile version.
  • Content sites that want to maintain visual and numerical consistency between traditional and AMP versions.

Recommended for publications that already rely on AMPforWP to deliver fast pages on mobile and want to bring the view counter also to AMP format, maintaining visible engagement at all contact points with the reader.
