About this plugin
Top 10 is a post views counter and popular posts plugin for WordPress. It counts daily and total page views on posts, pages and custom post types, then displays your most viewed and trending posts with blocks, widgets and shortcodes.
All tracking data stays in your WordPress database, with no external services, no cookies and no personal data. Views are queued in a lightweight table and counted in the background, so tracking works behind page caches without slowing down your pages.
Top 10 also offers thumbnails with fallbacks, flexible display options and a built-in cache. Developers can customize queries, tracking and output with WordPress actions and filters.

Privacy and GDPR
Top 10 does not use cookies and does not store personal data. Its database tables ( wp_top_ten, wp_top_ten_daily, wp_top_ten_visits_funnel and wp_top_ten_visits_log; the prefix may vary) hold only post IDs, site IDs, view counts, visit times and whether a view came from the web or a feed. No IP addresses or user agents are stored.
The user agent is read only to skip bots when that option is on.
You are responsible for ensuring GDPR compliance on your website.
Multilingual sites
Top 10 works with WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress without extra configuration, and caches popular posts separately for each language. See Multilingual support.
