Track WordPress post views and discover which content performs best. Get real-time analytics, referrer and geo insights, popular and trending content, WooCommerce funnels, exports and advanced bot protection - directly inside WordPress.
Already using WSH Views Counter Free? Upgrade to PRO without losing your existing view data.
You should not need a separate analytics platform just to understand how your WordPress content performs. The free plugin already counts views. PRO adds the reports editors actually open: sources, places, what is popular right now, and product funnels. It can sit next to Google Analytics. It does not replace every kind of web analytics.
See which posts are popular now, not only the all-time total.
Compare authors, categories and time ranges inside WordPress.
See referring sites, search and social from the same dashboard.
Spot a spike while a story is still moving.
Connect WooCommerce product views with add to cart and orders.
Keep the numbers in your own WordPress database.
The free plugin keeps counting. PRO turns those counts into reports your team can read without leaving WordPress.
Daily, weekly and monthly charts with 1, 7, 30 and 90 day ranges. See how a post, an author or the whole site moved over time.
Countries and cities for a post, an author or the whole site. Country lookup runs only after a PRO license is active.
Referring domains, search, social, newsletters, direct visits and internal links, broken down by post and by day.
A live panel of recent views and the posts being read now, from the hits the free plugin already records.
Product views next to add-to-cart and orders, so you can see what people open and what they buy.
The free plugin can ignore known bots and repeat views inside the interval you choose. PRO adds further fraud controls on top of that.
A lifetime total is only part of the story. PRO adds the views that matter this week.
Posts, pages and products ranked by views.
Posts gaining views today, not only the all-time list.
A sudden jump is marked so editors can react while the story is moving.
The same ranges for a writer, a section or the whole site.
Switch between today, the last 7 days, 30 days and 90 days.
Show a popular or trending list with a widget, a block or a shortcode.
The screens below are the real PRO reports: charts, sources, places and live views. No extra ratings, and no features that are not in the plugin.
Made for teams that publish a lot and need the numbers next to the content.
See which story is moving, which author is carrying the day, and which section is quiet.
Keep a most-viewed list and a trending list without a second analytics login.
Read product views next to add to cart and orders.
One PRO license level covers the number of client sites you choose. A staging copy does not use a site slot.
See which newsletter, social post or referring site actually lifted a story.
Leave known bots out of the numbers you use when you talk about reach.
Install PRO on a site that already runs the free plugin. Existing view counts stay in your database. PRO unlocks the extra reports. It does not start the history over.

It records how many times a published post, page or product is viewed, and shows that number inside WordPress.
Install WSH Views Counter, choose the post types you want, and the plugin counts a view after the page loads. You can show the number with the shortcode or with automatic display.
Yes. The count is a small request after the page has loaded, so a cached page can still be counted.
Free counts views, stores daily stats, and includes reports, a shortcode, a known-bot filter and a repeat-view interval. It also keeps the referring domain, a session and a short live-hit record. PRO adds the geo, referrer, real-time, trending, WooCommerce funnel and CSV export screens. PRO needs the free plugin.
No. PRO reads the same tables and the same post counts. Turning the license off later hides the PRO screens. It does not delete the counts.
Yes. The free reports already list posts by views. PRO adds popular and trending widgets and time-range reports.
Yes in PRO. Trending and spike detection look at posts gaining views now, not only the lifetime total.
The PRO live panel shows recent views and posts being read now. The free plugin records those hits, so the panel has history from before you upgrade.
PRO has referrer reports by domain, search, social and direct traffic. The free plugin stores the referring domain with the view.
Yes, after a PRO license is active. The lookup uses ipapi.co, then ipwhois.app if the first request fails. The free plugin does not send the visitor IP to a geo service.
Yes. Count product views by enabling the product post type. PRO reports the path from product view to add to cart to order. Those events are stored even before PRO is installed, so the funnel is not empty on day one.
The free plugin can skip known bots and ignore another view from the same visitor inside the interval you set (from 30 minutes to 1 day). PRO adds further fraud controls. No filter can remove every bot.
No. Counts stay in your WordPress database. You can keep Google Analytics for the rest of the site. This plugin does not replace it.
In your own database: a views table and the wsh_views_count field on each post. View data is not sent to WPPluginsPRO. Country lookup, only with an active PRO license, asks an external geo service and caches the result on your site.
PRO exports CSV for post summaries, daily counts, countries and referrers. It does not export Excel or JSON files.
Yes. Turn on the post types you want in the plugin settings, including posts, pages and products.
The public page sends one small count request after load. The heavier reports run in wp-admin, from a dedicated table rather than by scanning every post.
Pick the license that matches how many sites you run. If the free plugin is already installed, PRO uses the counts you already have.
