Caching and counting

    I use Cloudflare through Ezoic (an advertising provider). So far, everything’s fine. However, when I then enable also cloud caching, the WordPress Popular Posts plugin unfortunately no longer counts page views, or only counts a small fraction. According to research—I’m not a tech expert—this is because all HTML files are then cached, and thus the counting no longer works correctly. As soon as I disable cloud caching, the plugin starts counting perfectly again.

    While searching for solutions – the problem also affects a second site of mine – I also asked ChatGPT. They confirmed that many counters were no longer working there, but said there was a solution: https://chatgpt.com/share/689b4b33-5808-800d-bd62-cba1bf926d12 I’m not a technician and I think there are probably others who are experiencing the same issue. It’s great when the site is lightning fast, but less so when the counters no longer work.

    Do you have any ideas?

    Thanx and regards
    Hermann

    Whatever the cause, the numbers aren’t right either. Whatever, it won’t fix it. It was worth a try.

    Alright, at this point I believe it would be a good idea to get a developer to look into this for you. Reach out to the people who maintain your website (or consider hiring a freelance developer) and ask them for assistance with this. Once you figure out what’s going on please consider leaving a comment here, it might help others facing a similar issue in the future.

    We’ll see. The site runs alongside my day job and doesn’t generate the kind of income that I expect it to cost. We’ll see.

    In any case, thanks for the support.
