Lowest inode (keep it lightweight guys 👍)
For tracking view counts per article, choose this one. It's lightweight. 👍 Only 33 inodes (version 1.23.3).

Simple to use and works great!
Very easy to use and works great, that is... if not using any fancy caching methods. Edit: Updated to 5 stars. The newest version is working in Litespeed server and LScache enabled. Thanks Ronak and team!
