Reviews
what people actually sayPage View Count is praised for its simplicity, view-based ordering and compatibility with caching, but users frequently report counting inaccuracies, display quirks, and limited support.
What people like
- +Works with caching plugins (e.g., NitroPack) out of the box
- +Allows ordering posts by view count (ASC/DESC)
- +Easy to install and configure
Common complaints
- −Unwanted statistic and running icons appear in the top-left corner with no option to hide them
- −Counts every page reload without throttling and cannot disable the graphic icon×2
- −No dashboard view for overall statistics; users must check each post/page individually
- −Counter can appear twice when both the_content filter and shortcode are used, with no way to prevent duplication
- −Causes site crashes or errors in some environments
- −Right-to-left (RTL) display issues and limited customization of count presentation
- −Does not display on the homepage as expected in certain WordPress versions
- −Support requests often go unanswered×2
