Product page counts
Show the daily view count near the product summary so shoppers see popularity before they add to basket.
Simple signals
A WooCommerce product view counter without the heavy setup.
Install the plugin, enable the display options, or place the count manually with the Gutenberg block or Elementor widget.
Archive visibility
Add counts to shop and category listings, helping customers spot items that are attracting interest.
Daily reset
Counts reset each day so the display stays fresh and reflects what is happening in the store right now.
Gutenberg block
Add the Hot Products count inside block layouts, custom product content, or reusable WordPress patterns.
Elementor widget
Drop the count into Elementor product templates and style the message from the widget controls.
Shared output
Automatic placement, the block, and the widget all use the same renderer for consistent markup.
Why it helps
Turn product attention into useful store signals.
Customers often look for reassurance before choosing a product. A daily view count gives them a simple popularity cue without adding pop-ups, countdown timers, or aggressive sales messaging.
For store owners, product view counts also make browsing behaviour easier to understand. If a product is getting attention but not converting, it may need stronger imagery, clearer copy, a better price, or more prominent cross-sells.
- Highlight popular WooCommerce products while customers are browsing.
- Add lightweight social proof to product pages and category archives.
- Spot products that attract views and may deserve merchandising attention.
- Keep counts fresh with a daily reset instead of showing stale lifetime totals.
