Features

Everything you need to trust your page views

Track visits on your WordPress site, understand them in admin, and optionally show counts to readers — without bolting on a heavy analytics stack.

01 · Admin

Graphs that make sense at a glance

Open WordPress admin and see how traffic moves across your site — totals, trends, and top pages in one calm view. No third-party dashboard required.

  • View counts for posts and pages over selectable ranges
  • Top pages ranked by counted visits
  • Charts that stay readable on busy sites

02 · Shortcode

Show view counts where readers see them

Drop a shortcode into a post, page, or widget area to surface the view count — useful on blogs, resource libraries, and under headlines.

  • Works wherever WordPress shortcodes work
  • Shows the count for the current page by default
  • Keeps display styling with your theme

03 · Rules

Honest counts with revisit control

Decide how long before the same visitor counts again — so refreshes and editor previews don’t quietly inflate the graph.

  • Configurable recount interval in settings
  • Optional exclusion for logged-in administrators
Recount window24 hours

Same visitor won't inflate counts until the window expires.

Exclude logged-in admins

Editors previewing drafts stay out of your totals.

How it works

From install to insight in three steps

Designed to feel native to WordPress — activate, configure, and start reading the graph.

  1. 01

    Install & activate

    Add the plugin to WordPress like any other. Tracking starts with sensible defaults so you get signal immediately.

  2. 02

    Tune the rules

    Set the recount window and whether admins are excluded — keep counts aligned with how you publish.

  3. 03

    Read the graph — or embed a count

    Watch trends in admin, or place the shortcode on posts and pages so visitors see popularity too.

Settings

Dial in how views get counted

The admin settings panel is where PageView Tracker earns trust — not just by counting, but by letting you decide what a “view” means on your site.

Recount window

Control how long a visitor’s view sticks before another hit from the same person counts. Shorter for busy sites, longer for evergreen posts.

What gets tracked

Focus on the content that matters — typically posts and pages — so the dashboard stays useful, not noisy.

Editor hygiene

Exclude logged-in administrators so previewing, editing, and QA don’t pad the totals while you work.

Made for

Publishers, docs, and campaign pages

Wherever WordPress pages matter, a clear view count helps you decide what to improve next.

Blog & publishing

Surface view counts under titles or in sidebars so readers can spot popular pieces — and you can spot what to promote next.

Docs & resources

See which guides actually get opened. Prioritize rewrites based on real visits, not gut feel.

Marketing pages

Track landing-page interest without wiring up a full analytics suite for a single campaign site.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

Is this a WordPress plugin?
Yes. PageView Tracker is built for WordPress — install it, configure it in admin, and optionally display counts with a shortcode.
How do revisit rules work?
You set how long before the same visitor’s view can count again. That keeps refresh loops from distorting the graph.
Can I show counts on the front end?
Use the page view shortcode on posts, pages, or widget areas. Your theme controls appearance; the plugin supplies the number.
Do I need an external analytics account?
No. Counts live with your site and show up in wp-admin. It’s focused page-view tracking — not a full product-analytics suite.
When does it launch?
Soon. The dashboard, shortcode, and recount settings are in final polish before public release.
