Why use Post Views Counter vs Google Analytics?
Post Views Counter gives you clean, per-post view counts inside WordPress — fast, cache-friendly, and privacy-first, with data that stays on your server. Google Analytics might be an overkill when you just need accurate post/page views for editorial decisions.
Can I use Post Views Counter alongside Google Analytics?
Of course — many sites use both. Post Views Counter handles on-site, per-post view counts inside WordPress (no third-party scripts), while Google Analytics covers marketing funnels and acquisition.
Is Post Views Counter GDPR compliant?
Post Views Counter runs entirely inside WordPress with no third-party scripts and keeps data on your server — aligning with GDPR-style expectations.
