From the developer
Denis Botić's own description of Page Visits Counter, lightly tidied.
This plugin is going to display the number of visits for each page in the:
- Admin dashboard
- Browser developer-tools/console tab – (HIDDEN COUNTERS)
- Website/page frontend – (OPTIONAL)
You can add and display counters on the frontend of your website:
- total page-visits-counter and/or
- total website-visits-counter
( Page-visits-counter does not count page refresh as a new visit while Website-visits-counter counts everything. )
Hidden page counter + admin page reports
How to display hidden counter on a website frontend?
The purpose of this plugin is to supplement the report of actual visits to the pages of the website that cannot be recorded through advanced analytical tools. Advanced analytical tools require the consent of a visitor before the visit is recorded.
Why Lite?
- It is a small size software and it does not require much memory.
- It is not going to crowd your database with tons of metric data and “eat” database memory.
- It is not going to collect user’s personal data – GDPR compliant.
