Init View Count is a fast and minimalist WordPress view counter that uses JavaScript and REST API to track post views with precision and flexibility.
The plugin features accurate tracking through REST API, session/localStorage to prevent duplicates, flexible shortcodes for displaying view counts and rankings, clean admin tools, minimal overhead, and developer-friendly options.
REST API endpoints include recording post views and retrieving top posts by views. Shortcode examples like [init_view_count], [init_view_list], and [init_view_ranking] are provided with customization options.
Init View Count can be installed via WordPress.org or GitHub and offers various ways to display views such as using shortcodes in post content or setting up auto-insertion.
