WP Popular Posts

WordPress Popular Posts is fundamentally broken for cached sites. It defeats the entire purpose of Nginx/WP Rocket caching. There you spend all your energy optimizing to reduce every imaginable PHP FPM invocation, let alone the absurd DB query cascade of WP, and then this plugin comes and fires a XHR to the backend to load content that could have and should have come prerendered through the main page request.

I’ve only been using the plugin for a few days. At first I had a problem, thanks to the good and fast support I was able to solve the problem quickly, it was not due to the plugin, but to my theme. Since then everything has been working as it should. They also respond to change requests. Just great.

Out of sheer frustration I would like to give only one star because the css style cannot be changed in the normal way. I have tried for hours. It is only possible with great effort, e.g. via changes in funcions.php. Since the plugin works otherwise, I still give it 3 stars. It’s a pity, but because of the missing css customization option I threw it down!

A melhor e mais elegante maneira de exibir postagens populares em seu site. Simples e prático. Altamente recomendável.

Used it through the REST API to set it up with Elementor Pro, worked like a charm, good job.
