Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Light Views Counter – Fast, Scalable View Counter for High-Traffic Sites
Absolutely not! Light Views Counter is designed for zero performance impact: View counting happens asynchronously after page load Uses sendBeacon API for fire-and-forget requests Scripts only load on single posts/pages (not on homepage or archives) Built-in caching reduces database load Tested on high-traffic sites with millions of views Your visitors won't notice any difference in page load speed.
Yes, 100% GDPR compliant! Light Views Counter: No privacy policy update needed.
Yes! Light Views Counter is specifically designed to work with all major caching plugins: WP Rocket ✓ W3 Total Cache ✓ WP Super Cache ✓ LiteSpeed Cache ✓ Autoptimize ✓ Cloudflare ✓ View counting uses REST API which automatically bypasses page cache.
Deactivation: View data is preserved, tracking stops temporarily Deletion: All plugin data (including view counts) is permanently removed from database Counting & Tracking
Light Views Counter uses intelligent scroll detection: For long posts: * Waits until visitor scrolls to threshold (default: 50%) * Confirms visitor is actually reading content * Filters out bots and accidental clicks For short posts: * Automatically detects content fits in viewport * Counts after 1 seconds (confirms visitor sees content) * No need to wait for scroll that won't happen This ensures only genuine engagement is counted.
This is actually a good thing! Here's why: Light Views Counter counts: Real engagement (people who actually read) Google Analytics counts: Every page load (including bounces, bots, accidental clicks) Lower, more accurate numbers give you true insights into content performance.
Not within the configured time window (default: 1800 seconds / 30 minutes): Uses localStorage to remember recently viewed posts Prevents counting page refreshes and back-button clicks Configurable time window in settings (in seconds) Respects user privacy (no cookies) This gives you accurate unique views per time period.
No! Bots are automatically filtered. Your view counts reflect real human readers only.
You have 4 flexible options: 1. Shortcode (easiest): [lightvc_post_views] - Add anywhere in post content 2. Automatic display: Enable in Settings > Light Views Counter 3. PHP function: 4. Widgets: Use Popular Posts widget in sidebars
For WordPress: 1. Go to Appearance > Widgets 2. Drag "Popular Posts (Light Views Counter)" to widget area 3. Configure options and save For Elementor: 1. Edit page with Elementor 2. Search for "Popular Posts (Light Views Counter)" 3. Drag widget to desired location 4. Customize styling
