Measure content performance inside WordPress
Post Views Counter Pro extends Post Views Counter with additional tools for tracking, reviewing, and using view data. It is designed for sites that want clear per-content statistics without relying on external analytics tools or third-party scripts. View information remains inside WordPress and on your server, giving editorial and site-management teams a focused way to understand which content attracts attention.
The plugin can count and display views for the post types you select. Counts can be presented automatically or placed manually with a shortcode, while the available display position helps you decide where view totals appear. The underlying plugin supports PHP, JavaScript, and REST API counting modes, and Pro adds fast AJAX counting for a more accurate counting workflow.
Pro tools for analysis and publishing
Pro adds reports that organize views by date, post, and author. These views can help an editorial team identify popular articles, observe changes over time, and recognize contributors whose work receives strong readership. You can also set a custom views period, such as the last 7 or 30 days, to keep analysis focused on a chosen timeframe.
- Review content performance through reports by date, post, and author.
- Use customizable view periods for current or historical comparisons.
- Export view information in CSV or XML for downloading and sharing.
- Use caching optimization intended to support performance under heavy traffic.
- Connect view-based ordering with builders including Elementor Pro, Divi, and GenerateBlocks.
Flexible controls for site owners
Post Views Counter includes a Dashboard statistics widget and a sortable Post Views column in the administration area. You can exclude bots, logged-in users, selected roles, or specific IP addresses, and manually adjust a post’s view count when needed. Developer-friendly querying and ordering by views, custom REST API endpoints, and an option to set the count interval provide further control over how data is collected and used.
The plugin is Multisite compatible and works with WPML and Polylang. It is also translation-ready through a POT file. Existing data can be imported with one click from WP-PostViews, Statify, and Page Views Count, which can simplify a move to this workflow.
Practical workflow
After adding the plugin to a WordPress site, select the content types to measure and choose the counting mode that fits the site. Configure exclusions, the count interval, and the display position. Use the Dashboard widget, sortable admin column, and Pro reports to review results. When needed, export reports or use view-based ordering in a supported builder to surface popular content.
