Page Resonance

Count page views without turning your site into an analytics project.

What it does

Page Resonance is a focused page-view counter for WordPress. Choose the content and archives you want to track, see which pages get attention, and display counts where they are useful. It combines interaction-based tracking, bot filtering, and a rolling deduplication window rather than simply counting every page request.

Key features

  • View counts for posts, pages, custom post types, and taxonomy archives.
  • Interaction-based tracking alongside server-side bot filtering.
  • Rolling 24-hour deduplication for the same visitor and content.
  • Local storage with hashed visitor identifiers instead of raw IP addresses or user agents.
  • An admin statistics screen and sortable Views columns.
  • Shortcodes for individual page counts, taxonomy counts, and total site views.

Get started in three steps

  1. Install and activate Page Resonance.
  2. Open PageResonance → Settings and select the post types and taxonomies you want to track.
  3. Review the statistics screen and Views columns, then add a view-count shortcode to the front end if you want to show visitors the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Tracking starts after an interaction such as scrolling, touching, moving the mouse, or pressing a key. Server-side checks also reject known bot patterns and empty user-agent strings.

No. The same visitor is counted once per post or term within a rolling 24-hour window, using a temporary hashed identifier.

The plugin temporarily stores a one-way hash derived from the IP address, user agent, and a WordPress salt. Raw IP addresses and user agents are not stored, and expired hashes are normally removed within 48 hours.

Yes. Tracking uses the WordPress REST API after a visitor interaction, rather than depending on an uncached page load.
