Performance question

    Haven’t tried the plugin yet, just wondering about performance, as every view is a read / write to the database wich equates to # of posts X number of concurrent users X elapsed time. So a real time performance penalty but also a large DB over time.

    I’m not being critical, i really want to use the plugin – just wondering how it stacks up over time.

    Thanks!

    Yeap you are right, many large sites do not recommend you to use WP-PostViews if you have high traffic.

    The other way is to use a caching plugin so read (not real time anymore) is cache and for the write, the plugin will spawn an AJAX call to update the view count
