User sentiment analysis

Users find the WordPress plugin admirable due to its compatibility with major cache plugins like WP Fastest Cache and SuperCache, negating the need for additional custom codes. It offers simplicity in integration, especially with custom theme templates, and efficiently counts page views. Moreover, users appreciate its ease of use and minimal configuration, as it displays views per article discreetly and allows for Google Analytics integration to fetch total counts. However, users noted drawbacks such as dependence on a third-party website that might affect performance and the lack of a guide to reset view counts over specific intervals. Despite these issues, the plugin is highly rated for its effectiveness and simplicity.

Hi, This is the best Javascript-based page view counts for my website because it works with other major CACHE plugins such as WP Fastest Cache, SuperCache, etc. without more custom codes. My only drawbacks of this plugin are: 1. It is dependent on a third party website to count page views which may cause poor website performance. 2. There is no guide on how to reset those page view counts to Zero every month, 6 months or year, etc. However, I still give 5 STARs to this plugin despite the above drawbacks.

Installed this locally to test before utilizing on a client site and experienced no problems whatsoever in either environment. I’m using it in a custom theme template and the integration couldn’t have been simpler. Thank you for this fantastic plugin. I’ve also used it on a CPT with no issues as can be seen here. Here is how I’m using it on the blog.

But you can stop this if you delete the last lines (just between <body> and </body> of auth.php Additionally it has no other settings-options, which is why I better go with https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/post-views-counter/. Last but not least it really does what it should, therefore at least 3 stars. Cheers and keep on improving it.

Excelente. Mais simples seria difícil. Faz o que se propõe sem configurações. Apresenta as leituras de cada artigo de forma discreta e permite ir ao Google Analytics buscar a contagem total. Excellent. Simpler would be difficult. It does what it proposes without setings. Displays discreetly the views for each post and allows the user to fetch all the views stored on Google Analytics.
