Social Media Previews

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

  • Featured image (or a fallback image)
  • Post title
  • Meta description
  • Your website name

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:

MetricDescription
ViewsTotal number of times the post was viewed (session-based to prevent duplicate counting)
Total ViewsAggregate 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
