Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Installing this will allow you to use a widget or template tag to show your site’s visitors a personalized list of posts and pages they have viewed.

The list of posts is saved in each visitor’s web browser, so even if you get millions of visitors a month it won’t affect the performance of your website.

Note: It doesn’t store a global list of recently viewed posts by all users. Nothing is stored in your site’s database. Every visitor has a custom lists of posts and pages they have viewed.

If JavaScript is disabled or no single post has been clicked, no output will be displayed.

The plugin comes with a widget and a template tag.
