Social Media Previews
When you share a blog post link on social media, platforms automatically display:

- Post title
- Meta description

Always add a featured image to your posts — posts with images get significantly more clicks when shared on social media.
View Tracking & Analytics
Every blog post tracks engagement metrics automatically:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Views | Total number of times the post was viewed (session-based to prevent duplicate counting) |
| Total Views | Aggregate views across all posts shown in the blog dashboard |
How View Tracking Works
- Views are counted per session — the same visitor viewing a post multiple times in one session counts as 1 view
- View data is available in the blog dashboard stats overview
- Each post shows its individual view count in the post list
