WPStore+ Smart Post Views is a privacy-first WordPress post views plugin that helps you measure total views, daily unique views, content trends, traffic sources, devices, countries, and campaign performance without storing raw visitor IP addresses.

It works with posts, pages, WooCommerce products, and other public post types, making it suitable for blogs, news websites, business websites, online stores, and content-heavy WordPress installations.

Cache-Compatible View Tracking

View tracking runs after the page has loaded through the WordPress REST API. This allows the plugin to continue recording views on websites using full-page caching, server-side caching, and compatible CDN services.

Administrators, known bots, repeated visits within the configured cooldown period, and browsers using Do Not Track can be excluded from counting.

Clear Analytics Inside WordPress

The analytics dashboard gives you quick access to:

• Total and daily unique views
• Today, 7-day, 30-day, 90-day, and custom date ranges
• Independent 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day Traffic trend charts
• Post type and individual content filters
• Top-performing content for the selected date range
• Up to 50 ranked content items using secure incremental loading
• Sortable Views and Unique columns on WordPress content screens
• CSV export with spreadsheet formula protection

To inspect one specific day, select Custom range and enter the same date in both the From and To fields.

Advanced Content Insights

An active WPStore+ license unlocks Advanced Insights designed to help you understand changes in content performance.

Advanced reporting includes:

• Current versus previous matched-period comparison
• Absolute and percentage traffic changes
• Rising Content rankings
• Declining Content rankings
• 30-day traffic run-rate estimates
• Configurable monthly traffic goals
• Projected month-end traffic
• Sitewide real-time visitors from the last five minutes

These insights are calculated from aggregate daily totals and do not introduce additional visitor-level tracking.

Privacy-First Analytics

WPStore+ Smart Post Views does not store raw visitor IP addresses, full referring URLs, or personal visitor profiles.

The plugin creates an anonymous browser identifier and stores only a one-way, site-specific hash. Referrer reports contain only hostnames, device reports use broad Desktop, Mobile, and Tablet categories, and country information is collected only when a compatible Cloudflare country header is available.

Optional consent mode can prevent view recording until the configured consent signal has been received.

Campaigns, Reports, and Integrations

Licensed installations can enable privacy-filtered UTM analytics for source, medium, and campaign labels.

Additional commercial features include:

• Weekly or 30-day email reports
• Test email delivery
• Read-only analytics access for selected WordPress roles
• Authenticated aggregate REST API
• Daily or weekly HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks
• Cached WordPress Multisite Summary
• Redacted System Status and Support Reports
• Secure analytics repair and reset tools

API and webhook features are disabled by default and can be enabled only by an administrator.

Display View Counters Anywhere

Automatically display view totals on supported content types or use the included shortcode:

[wpsp_views]

Display accumulated daily unique views:

[wpsp_views metric="unique"]

Developers can also use the public template function:

wpsp_spv_get_views( $post_id, 'views' )

Reliable Core Mode

Core post-view counting, daily totals, date-range charts, content filters, shortcodes, automatic counters, and role-based dashboard access continue to work without an active commercial entitlement.

Advanced Insights, visitor dimensions, real-time reporting, campaigns, email reports, CSV export, API access, webhooks, Multisite Summary, and authenticated updates require an active WPStore+ license or valid offline grace entitlement.
