It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/simple-post-views-count/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1976023) # Simple Post Views Count By [ttodua](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ttodua/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-post-views-count.zip) * [Details](https://te.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-views-count/#description) * [Reviews](https://te.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-views-count/#reviews) * [Development](https://te.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-views-count/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-post-views-count/) ## Description #### PLUGIN DEPRECIATED 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 [Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/)) 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.**. ### … What is solution? 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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4759ed89c6e5ead5867ebcf919da3b3c78263528544bb4bac41c85b216bac4b1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Don’t abandon plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-abandon-plugin/)󠁿 [teeboy4real](https://profiles.wordpress.org/teeboy4real/) మే 24, 2020 I hate Google please continue plugin development what if google never existed I really dislike this over dependence on google. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/89017721a8a29f893f10f3c16c9e5d3f20e1ee7218e735492607f42a339ef649? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[why abandon a working plug-in?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-abandon-a-working-plug-in/)󠁿 [Jellico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/catsfoto1se/) ఏప్రిల్ 29, 2020 I believe we must evolve, we need to change, but what this creator did, stopping and telling users to use Google analytics? why?
