Yes, view counting is AJAX-based, so it works properly with caching. ### Will it count admin views? By default, admin views are excluded (you can enable/disable this in settings). ### Can I show the view counter anywhere manually? Yes, use the [post_views] shortcode or the spvc_get_post_views() function in your theme. ### Does it prevent bots from inflating the count? Yes, it includes basic bot detection and ignores common crawlers. ## Rezensionen Für dieses Plugin gibt es keine Rezensionen. ## Mitwirkende und Entwickler „Simple Post View Counter – Clean and Fast Post View Analytics“ ist Open-Source- Software.
