Page Visits Counter – Lite

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

242 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 180 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   Installed this on one website and liked it so much I installed it on a second. Nothing to do except install it, purge the cache, log out, and log in. The display of page counts on the dashboard is just what I wanted.

   Compared to what I was using (Advanced Page Visit Counter, which was removed for security reasons), this plug-in does the job – but is very cumbersome and not very friendly. It would be so much more useful with shortcodes. Also, would like to be able to use shortcodes on any page to get statistics about any other page counts (a statistics web page if you will – without ever having to log in to the admin panel). Two stars for me due to the plug in being cluncky, not very useful outside of the admin dashboard and lack of shortcodes and ease of use.

   This plugin crashed my website as soon as I installed it. I couldn’t even get into my admin panel to disable the plugin. I eventually found out a way to disable by going to the source file folders and renaming the folder this one came in to something else.

   I recommend this plugin for every one, It’d very useful and easy to use, I use it on my WordPress Woocommerce Website, I can know the visitor count for each product listed, In my opinion this plugin is more useful than Google Analytics itself. Many thanks to the developer of this Page Visits Counter – Lite plugin.

   I really like this solution where I can reset all page visits when leaving the website admin area. Next time I sign in, I can check how many engagements there were for each page. Also, thumbs up for the hidden counter. ( I am not using the on-page counter.) Well done!
