<p>Entry Views keeps track of the number of views a post/page (or any post type) has.  It comes handy with a widget for showing the most viewed posts, a shortcode for displaying a post’s view count, and handy template tags for use within theme template files.</p>

<p><strong>Globe Visitors Counter (Lite)</strong> adds a beautiful, fast, iframe-isolated 3D visitor globe to any WordPress site.<br />
It instantly shows your audience geography — fully locally, privately, and without any third-party tracking.</p>
<p>This Lite version is designed for <strong>clarity, speed, and instant visual feedback</strong> — especially on landing pages and campaign pages.</p>
<h3>Use Case: Instant Visual Feedback for Advertising Campaigns</h3>
<h3>The situation</h3>
<p>You have a product or a service.<br />
You launch an advertising campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>Google Ads  </li>
<li>Facebook / Instagram  </li>
<li>TikTok  </li>
<li>banner ads  </li>
<li>email campaigns  </li>
<li>any other traffic source  </li>
</ul>
<p>All traffic is sent to <strong>one landing page</strong>.</p>
<p>Usually what comes next is boring:<br />
tables, charts, numbers, dashboards, “we’ll analyze it later”.</p>
<h3>The solution</h3>
<p>You place <strong>Globe Visitors Counter Lite directly on the landing page</strong>.</p>
<p>No server setup.<br />
No external analytics.<br />
No configuration.</p>
<p>And you start <strong>seeing your traffic with your own eyes</strong>.</p>
<h3>How it works (very simple)</h3>
<ol>
<li>You launch the ads  </li>
<li>Visitors arrive at the page  </li>
<li>Each real visitor appears as a dot on the globe — in real time, from their actual location  </li>
</ol>
<p>The globe comes alive and instantly shows:<br />
– whether people are coming at all<br />
– which countries and regions react<br />
– whether the campaign works or misses completely</p>
<p>No dots — ads don’t work.<br />
Dots appear — ads are alive.</p>
<h3>Why Lite is perfect for landing pages</h3>
<p>Lite is <strong>not deep analytics</strong>.<br />
It’s a <strong>visual “life indicator”</strong>.</p>
<p>Perfect when you need:<br />
– fast visual feedback<br />
– immediate confirmation that traffic is real<br />
– zero setup and zero learning curve<br />
– a simple “wow effect” for clients, teams, or investors</p>
<p>You <strong>watch</strong>, not <strong>analyze</strong>.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Interactive 3D Land-Cover globe</strong> included out of the box  </li>
<li><strong>Real-time visitor logging</strong> using a tiny local JSON file  </li>
<li><strong>Historical dots</strong> displayed automatically  </li>
<li><strong>Zero configuration</strong>, works with all themes & editors  </li>
<li><strong>Shortcode-based</strong>, easy placement on any page  </li>
<li><strong>No cookies, no remote APIs, GDPR-friendly</strong>  </li>
<li><strong>Ultra-fast loading</strong> thanks to iframe sandboxing  </li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>When a page with the shortcode is opened, the plugin loads a fully self-contained viewer from:</p>
<p>/wp-content/uploads/visitors-lite-landcover/</p>
<p>Each visit is logged locally as a minimal record (timestamp + coordinates + city + country) into:</p>
<p>visitors.json</p>
<p>Everything stays <strong>on your server</strong>.<br />
No tracking pixels.<br />
No third-party analytics.<br />
No cookies.</p>
<h3>Why Use It</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ideal for landing pages and product launches  </li>
<li>Visualizes global audience instantly  </li>
<li>Safe for cached pages and CDNs  </li>
<li>Works even on heavily optimized sites  </li>
</ul>
<h3>When You May Need the Full Version</h3>
<p>Lite is intentionally simple and fast.</p>
<p>If you need:<br />
– long-term statistics<br />
– multiple pages or sites<br />
– extended visitor history<br />
– advanced visual modes and skins<br />
– more control and customization</p>
<p>…then the <strong>Full (Pro) version</strong> may be a better fit.</p>
<p>Lite remains perfect for <strong>single pages, launches, tests, and quick visual validation</strong>.</p>
