WordPress doesn’t have an in-built system to track page views or displaying popular posts. <a href="https://webberzone.com/plugins/top-10/" rel="nofollow ugc">Top 10</a> is an easy to use, yet, powerful WordPress plugin that will count the number of page views of your posts, pages and any custom post types. You can then display the page view counts as well as display your most popular posts.
Top 10 adds two widgets that you can use to display a list of popular posts and the counta cross all your blog posts.
Although several similar plugins exist today, Top 10 is one of the most feature-rich popular post plugins with support for thumbnails, shortcodes, widgets, custom post types and CSS styles. The inbuilt caching system also helps reduce server load by caching your popular posts output. The tracking uses ajax and is thus compatible with most popular caching plugins.
Top 10 also has powerful API and is fully extendable with WordPress actions and filters to allow you easily extend the code base to add new features or tweak existing ones.
<h4>Features</h4>
