<p>The Hits List keeps post view tracking on your own WordPress site and gives you block, widget, and template-tag tools for displaying popular content.</p>
<p>Key features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Local view tracking stored in WordPress database tables</li>
<li>Overall and daily popular-post counts</li>
<li>Popular Posts block and widget support with public post type selection</li>
<li>WordPress dashboard cards for daily top posts, all-time top posts, and views over time</li>
<li>Top 10 migration compatibility with resumable rerun-safe imports, WP-CLI tools, legacy widget support, native widget conversion, cleanup for old Top 10 leftovers, and optional Top 10 plugin removal</li>
<li>REST-based tracking with AJAX fallback</li>
<li>Privacy-policy integration for site owners</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>The Hits List stores post view counts locally in the <code>hits_list</code> and <code>hits_list_daily</code> database tables (table prefix may vary).</p>
<p>It does not send tracking data to a third-party analytics service.</p>
<p>Daily tracking buckets are retained for 180 days by default and older rows are removed automatically.</p>
<p>You are responsible for describing your use of visitor analytics on your own site as needed.</p>
<h3>Source Code and Build Tools</h3>
<p>The compiled block assets in <code>blocks/popular-posts/build/</code> are generated from the human-readable source files included in <code>blocks/popular-posts/src/</code>.</p>
<p>To rebuild the block assets:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <code>blocks/popular-posts/</code>.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code>.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>The block build uses <code>@wordpress/scripts</code>. Runtime PHP, vanilla JavaScript, and CSS assets outside the block build are maintained directly in the plugin source.</p>
