Overview
Installing this will allow you to use a widget or template tag to show your site’s visitors a personalized list of posts and pages they have viewed.
The list of posts is saved in each visitor’s web browser, so even if you get millions of visitors a month it won’t affect the performance of your website.
Note: It doesn’t store a global list of recently viewed posts by all users. Nothing is stored in your site’s database. Every visitor has a custom lists of posts and pages they have viewed.
If JavaScript is disabled or no single post has been clicked, no output will be displayed.
The plugin comes with a widget and a template tag.
