Chartlet is a lightweight, performance-focused plugin for creating beautiful, interactive charts and graphs via shortcodes.
Stop bloating your database! Unlike other chart plugins that store every graph as a custom post type, Chartlet stores all configurations directly within the shortcode. This makes your site faster and your data easier to manage.
Using the power of Chart.js (loaded locally for maximum privacy and GDPR compliance), Chartlet allows you to visualize data in seconds. Perfect for data journalism, financial reports, or simply adding a professional touch to your blog posts.
