Several plugins are available for displaying Views Count for a particular post. So, from that you can know how many times a particular post has been viewed.

You can use plugins like “Post Views Count” or “WP-PostViews”, but also possible to complete this task with simple code in themes function.php file.

//To keep the count accurate, lets get rid of prefetching
 
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0);
 
function wpb_get_post_views_count($postid){
 
$count_key = 'wpb_post_views';
