Whether you’re running a small WooCommerce store or a high-volume catalog, a well- placed view counter delivers instant social proof that influences buying decisions. Shoppers who see that hundreds of other visitors have viewed a product are more likely to trust it, engage with it, and convert. WhoKnew Views gives you that social proof out of the box — no coding, no configuration headaches, no performance tradeoffs. ### What Is a WooCommerce View Counter? A view counter tracks how many times each product page has been visited and displays that number directly on your store. Unlike vague engagement metrics buried in Google Analytics, a WooCommerce view counter puts social proof front and center — right where your customers are making purchase decisions. WhoKnew Views goes further than a basic view counter. It layers in a full analytics dashboard, smart bot filtering, deep visual customization, and — in the Pro version— Prophet AI forecasting that predicts which products are about to go viral up to 90 days before it happens. ### Why Social Proof Works — and Why a View Counter Delivers It Social proof is one of the most studied conversion principles in ecommerce. When shoppers see that a product has been viewed thousands of times, it signals popularity, trustworthiness, and demand. A view counter is one of the simplest, most effective forms of social proof you can add to a WooCommerce store because it requires no reviews, no ratings, and no user-generated content — just real traffic data you already have. WhoKnew Views transforms that raw view data into a polished, branded social proof display that matches your store’s aesthetic perfectly. Choose from 100+ professional CSS presets, customize every visual detail, and preview changes live before publishing— all without touching a single line of code. ### Free Features — Everything You Need to Start #### Accurate WooCommerce View Counter Track real product page views with async JavaScript that never slows your store. Each view is logged, deduplicated, and aggregated daily so your analytics stay clean and your database stays lean. The view counter updates in real time and displays on product pages automatically once enabled. #### Social Proof Display Turn raw view counts into compelling social proof with fully customizable display text, icons, animations, and positioning. Show messages like „🔥 1,243 people have viewed this product” or keep it minimal — the choice is yours. The social proof display is mobile-responsive and tested across all major WooCommerce themes. #### Full Visual Customization WhoKnew Views gives you more styling control than any other WooCommerce view counter on the market: – **Colors** — background, text, border, icon, shadow – **Typography**— font size, weight, family, line height – **Layout** — padding, margin, border radius, width – **Animations** — fade, slide, pulse, bounce, and more – **Shadows and borders**— full box-shadow and border control – **100+ professional CSS presets** — Luxury, Hover Effects, 3D, Elite, and a continuously growing collection #### Live Preview System Every styling change is reflected instantly in a live preview panel before you publish. Test your view counter across desktop and mobile viewports without leaving the settings screen. #### 5 Icon Libraries Choose from over 500 icons across five professional libraries: – **Font Awesome**( v6.7.2) — the web’s most popular icon set – **Ionicons** (v4.6.3) — clean, modern icons from the Ionic team – **Elegant Icons** — premium icons from Elegant Themes–** Dripicons v2** — a refined stroke-based icon collection – **Dashicons** — WordPress native icons, always available #### Bot Filtering + IP Whitelist Accurate analytics require clean data. WhoKnew Views filters known bots and crawlers automatically and lets you whitelist your own IP address so your visits never inflate your view counts. The bot filter catalog is regularly updated to keep your social proof numbers trustworthy. #### Product Leaderboard with Growth Badges See which products are trending across your entire WooCommerce catalog with a built- in leaderboard. Growth badges highlight products with accelerating view velocity— a simple but powerful analytics signal that tells you where buyer interest is building before your sales data does. #### 5-Year Data Retention View analytics data is stored locally in your WordPress database and retained for up to five years. No external servers, no third-party analytics platforms, no data sharing — just clean, private, long-term view counter history that belongs entirely to you. #### Mobile-Responsive Display The view counter and social proof display are fully responsive and tested across phones, tablets, and desktops. Position controls let you place the counter above the title, below the price, above the add-to-cart button, or in a custom location— all without code. ### Pro Features — Advanced Analytics and Prophet AI #### Prophet AI Forecasting The Pro version of WhoKnew Views includes AI-powered demand forecasting built on** Prophet** — the open-source time series forecasting library developed by Meta’s Core Data Science team and trusted by data scientists worldwide. Prophet analyzes your WooCommerce view counter history and identifies seasonal patterns, trend inflections, and demand acceleration signals that are invisible to the naked eye. The result: accurate product-level forecasts that tell you which items are about to spike in traffic and sales — up to **90 days before it happens**. This isn’t generic analytics. Prophet was specifically designed for business time series data with strong seasonal effects and missing data tolerance — exactly the kind of messy, real-world view counter data that WooCommerce stores produce. WhoKnew Views applies Prophet at the individual product level so you get a forecast for every SKU in your catalog, not just store-wide trends. **What Prophet AI forecasting gives you:** – Predict which products will go viral up to 90 days early – Identify seasonal demand peaks before your competitors do – Spot declining products before they drag down your analytics – Make smarter inventory, advertising, and merchandising decisions based on real view counter data – Visualize forecast confidence intervals so you understand prediction certainty at a glance No data science background required. WhoKnew Views handles all Prophet model configuration, training, and rendering automatically. You see a clean forecast chart — the AI does the rest. #### Smart View Padding (15 Presets) New products suffer from the „cold start” problem — a view counter showing „3 views” actually hurts social proof more than having no counter at all. Smart view padding solves this by applying a configurable baseline to your view counter display so new products launch with credible social proof from day one. Choose from 15 padding presets ranging from subtle to aggressive, or set a custom value per product. Padding is applied only to the display number — your underlying analytics data is always accurate and unaffected. #### Email Alerts for View Spikes Get notified the moment a product starts trending. WhoKnew Views Pro monitors your view counter data in real time and sends automated email alerts when a product crosses configurable view velocity thresholds. Catch viral moments early so you can respond with targeted promotions, inventory top-ups, or social media amplification before the spike peaks. #### Analytics Export (CSV + Images) Export your complete view counter analytics history as CSV files for use in Excel, Google Sheets, or any business intelligence tool. Screenshot exports let you share visual analytics reports with your team or clients without granting WordPress access. All exports include product-level view counter data, trend indicators, and Prophet AI forecast data where applicable. #### Per-Product Counter Control Show or hide the view counter on any individual product with a single checkbox in the product edit screen. Useful for hiding counters on low-traffic new arrivals, showing social proof only on bestsellers, excluding clearance items from view counter display, or applying different counter strategies across product categories. #### Priority Support Pro license holders receive priority email support with faster response times and direct access to the WhoKnew development team. ### WhoKnew Views vs. Other WooCommerce View Counter Plugins Most WooCommerce view counter plugins do one thing: count views and show a number.

Yes — it tracks **real product page views** and displays them as social proof directly on your store. ### Does it slow down my site? No. The plugin uses async tracking and daily aggregation to minimize performance impact. View tracking runs in the background and is designed to have minimal effect on your site speed or performance. ### How to show the view counter on product pages? Enable in the styling tab choose position (no coding required). ### Can I customize or hide the view counter on specific products? **Free:** Yes for styling, no for conditional display. You can fully customize the appearance (colors, fonts, size, position, even make it transparent), but the counter will render on all products once enabled. You can make it visually invisible with 100% transparency, but it still outputs the HTML. **Pro:** Full control.

Free = view counter + social proof + basic analytics Pro = **Prophet AI forecasting**, smart view padding, email alerts, and full analytics exports ### What is Prophet AI and how does it work in this plugin? Prophet is an open-source time series forecasting library developed by Meta’s Core Data Science team. The Pro version of WhoKnew Views uses Prophet to analyze your WooCommerce view counter history and generate product-level demand forecasts up to 90 days into the future. It identifies seasonal patterns and trend signals in your analytics data that are invisible to standard reporting tools — giving you an early warning system for viral products before your sales data reflects the spike. ### Works with caching plugins? Yes — compatible with **WP Rocket**, **LiteSpeed Cache**, **W3 Total Cache**, ** SiteGround Speed Optimizer**, and other major caching solutions. View tracking runs async and bypasses cache. ### Does it work without cookies or with strict privacy settings? The plugin uses cookies to prevent duplicate view counts within a cooldown period. It also uses IP addresses for whitelist functionality. View tracking may be affected if users block cookies, but the plugin is designed to work in most scenarios. ### Is it GDPR / EU privacy compliant? The plugin is designed to be GDPR-compliant. All product view tracking data stays in **your local WordPress database**. No external servers are used for tracking. The plugin uses cookies to prevent duplicate counts and may use IP addresses for whitelist checking. However, you should review your specific privacy requirements and ensure compliance with applicable regulations, including cookie consent requirements where applicable. ### Do I need coding knowledge to use this plugin? No. The plugin features an intuitive dashboard and simple setup. Advanced users can customize styling and settings, but it works out of the box. ## Recenzje Wtyczka nie ma jeszcze żadnej recenzji. ## Kontrybutorzy i deweloperzy „WhoKnew Views – View Counter & Social Proof for WooCommerce” jest oprogramowaniem open source.
