Update Freshness

25/25

Updated on June 22, 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, the plugin shows clear, recent, and proactive maintenance from a developer who keeps pace with core releases.

User Rating

15/15

Five reviewers all gave it 100 out of 100, a perfect but very small sample that signals user satisfaction while still being statistically thin.

8/15

With zero support threads opened and zero resolved, there is no public track record of how the author handles bug reports or questions, which makes the 50 out of 15 score reflect a moderate risk for users who may need help.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requiring WordPress 4.6 and PHP 5.2.4 while being tested up to WordPress 7.0 gives this plugin exceptional backward and forward compatibility, covering virtually every hosting environment in use today.

What It Does

Statify Widget is a sidebar widget that displays your site's most popular pages, posts, and custom post types based on view counts collected by the separate Statify analytics plugin. Because it reads from Statify's local database table rather than calling third-party services, it stays compliant with strict privacy regulations like GDPR. You drop it into any widget area and get a configurable list of trending content without cookies or external tracking scripts.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for site owners in the EU or any privacy-sensitive jurisdiction who already use Statify and need a lightweight way to surface popular content on the frontend. It fits blogs, news publications, educational sites, and small business websites where cookie-free analytics and GDPR compliance are non-negotiable. If you want a 'Popular Posts' widget that respects visitor privacy out of the box, this is a sensible match.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not already run the Statify plugin, this widget is useless to you because it depends entirely on Statify's stored view data. Sites needing deep analytics dashboards, event tracking, or e-commerce conversion data should look at full analytics tools like Burst Statistics or Independent Analytics instead.

The Bottom Line

Statify Widget earns a solid 78.63 out of 100 by doing one thing well: turning Statify's local view counts into a GDPR-friendly popular-content widget. Its near-perfect maintenance and compatibility scores are real strengths, but the tiny install base, tiny rating pool, and absent support history mean you are trusting a single developer with limited public feedback. If you already use Statify and value privacy over features, install it; otherwise, a bundled solution like Burst Statistics is a safer starting point.
