The Dexs.Counter plugin detects each (unique) view and stores the collected data into the own 
database table as well as own post_meta, which can be used to configure WP_Query loops depending on 
the counter. This informations are already used in the 2 frontend and in the small dashboard widget. 
The plugin contains also an extended statistic, which shows the daily views (of all posts) as 
diagram within the dashboard widget. Last but not Least: The plugin offers also a small rating system.
<h4>Alpha</h4>
This plugin is still Alpha and will be expanded in the future. However, it should not contain 
critical bugs, but if you found one or if you even have general suggestions for improvement then

<h4>PLUGIN DEPRECIATED</h4>
Now, we are finally convinced that GOOGLE ANALYTICS stats and tracking systems are uncomparably superior (which also comes as other plugins, i.e. we like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]</a>) over useless “POST-VIEWS” plugins, because these drawbacks: 
– There are tons of bots, crawlers, search or aggregation engines, that view your websites and pages daily, and “view your posts”. That ends up in fake/boosted “Post views” dramatically. 
Beside bots, many people just …: 
– people open the pages in the background and close them without reading at all 
– open the pages, but close while site is still loading 
– open the pages, but close quickly, under 1-2 seconds, without reading your pages.. 
– and many other reasons.
All these actions still increases the Post-views counter. So, to say decisively, such numbers are not of any real help, instead they just mislead site-owners and their decisions..
<h3>… What is solution?</h3>
We praise Google Analytics (or alike) tracking systems. This is what they are made for ! This is the field, where they know what to do. Just state-of-the-art. They give you statistics not only of page-views, average duration (seconds), Realtime , but other tons of statisctis, which gives you realistic information about your posts and website, to make correct decisions.
YOU WILL NOT REGRET.
Just spend 2 minute to sign up for Google Analytics, get the code and use “Google Analytics” plugin.
