Description

Post Views Counter Pro registers views of posts, pages, and custom post types directly in the WordPress database, without relying on external analytics services and working even on sites with active page cache or object cache. Designed for blogs, news portals, and digital magazines that need to sort content by popularity, the plugin adds a views column in the admin listing, exports detailed reports, and allows filtering by author, category, or tag.

Main Features

  • Native database counting: stores each view in WordPress’s own table, without sending requests to external tracking services.
  • Cache compatibility: counting modes that keep accumulating views on sites with page cache, object cache, or CDN in front.
  • Admin column: adds a views field in the posts and pages listing, with sorting by popularity in the editorial workflow.
  • Widget, block, and shortcode: displays most viewed rankings via classic widget, Gutenberg block, or dedicated shortcode in any template.
  • Reports and export: generates reports by range, author, and taxonomy, with raw data export for analysis outside the dashboard.

Post Views Counter Pro Benefits

  • Data-driven editorial decision: the editorial staff quickly identifies which topics generate reads and replicates winning formats.
  • Server-side privacy: numbers stay in your database, without third-party trackers, simplifying LGPD compliance.
  • Reliable numbers under high traffic: counting survives caching layers, avoiding underreporting during traffic spikes.
  • Automatic “most read” curation: featured blocks feed themselves, eliminating daily manual selection.

Who Is It For?

  • Blogs and news portals that want to highlight most-read articles in sidebars, home, and listings.
  • Digital magazines and content sites that monetize with advertising and rely on popularity metrics.
  • Editorial teams that organize topics based on the historical performance of each author, section, or theme.

Recommended for those who publish volume content on WordPress and need to turn reading data into direct editorial decision in the dashboard, without outsourcing metrics.
