<p>Most websites have no memory. Visitors return and see the same content with no recognition of what they’ve already explored. LekTrail changes that.</p>
<p><strong>For content sites</strong>: Show readers which articles they started but didn’t finish, and suggest new content based on their history.</p>
<p><strong>For e-commerce</strong>: Display recently viewed products so customers can easily return to items they were considering.</p>
<p><strong>For courses and documentation</strong>: Track progress through lessons or guides, showing what’s completed and what’s next.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>LekTrail tracks when visitors scroll through your content:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Viewed</strong>: Posts they started reading</li>
<li><strong>Completed</strong>: Posts they scrolled to the end (configurable threshold)</li>
<li><strong>Suggestions</strong>: Unread posts based on your configuration</li>
</ul>
<p>The widget displays three sections: “Continue Reading”, “Completed”, and “Suggested Reading”.</p>
<h4>Two Tracking Modes</h4>
<p><strong>localStorage Mode (Default)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Works for all visitors, no login required</li>
<li>Data stored in browser, completely private</li>
<li>Optional consent banner</li>
<li>Data clears if browser storage is cleared</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Server-Side Mode</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Requires logged-in users (WordPress users or membership plugin)</li>
<li>Reading history persists across devices</li>
<li>Useful for membership sites, courses, or personalized experiences</li>
<li>Anonymous visitors see suggestions only</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg block and shortcode support</li>
<li>Works with any post type (posts, pages, products, custom types)</li>
<li>Configurable scroll threshold to mark content as “completed”</li>
<li>Show/hide excerpts and thumbnails</li>
<li>Suggestion order: random, recent, or related</li>
<li>Category filters for suggestions</li>

</ul>
<h4>Development</h4>

<p>MATE Recently Viewed Products lets you show WooCommerce products the customer recently visited — even when full-page caching is active.</p>
<p>It uses cookies to store visited products and loads the display using AJAX, so it’s fully compatible with caching plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and others.</p>
<p>You can display products anywhere using a shortcode or a Gutenberg block. Both the block and shortcode allow you to override global settings on a per-instance basis.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Cookie-based product tracking</li>
<li>Fully AJAX-loaded: works with full-page cache</li>

<li>Per-block customization (title, number, image, price, excerpt, spinner)</li>
<li>Layout-friendly and responsive design</li>
<li>Works with all WooCommerce themes</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>You can use the <code>[mrvp_recent_products]</code> shortcode anywhere. Optional attributes:</p>

    count=”5″<br />
    title=”Recently Viewed”<br />
    show_price=”1″<br />
    show_excerpt=”0″<br />
    show_image=”1″<br />
