Overview
MNP Newsroom allows you to display trending content on your site using a performance-focused approach. Instead of querying the main database on every page load, it uses a dedicated lightweight table and the WordPress REST API to serve data asynchronously.
This plugin is designed to minimize server load on high-traffic websites.
Key Features
- Performance: Data is loaded via AJAX (REST API) to avoid caching conflicts.
- Smart Tracking: Visits are counted after a configurable delay (default 3 seconds) to improve accuracy.
- Bot Handling: Logic included to detect common bots and prevent them from inflating view counts.
- Time Ranges: Filter posts by Today (24h), Trending (48h), or Week (7 days).
- Customization: Includes a custom CSS editor and multiple layouts (Image Left, Right, or Text Only).
