@afern247 Ghost doesn’t track views. Typical use-case is having Ghost behind a CDN or cache so most page views won’t actually hit the Ghost server for it to be able to track page views. If you want statistics/analytics it’s recommended to use a 3rd party service such as Google Analytics or similar that is designed for that purpose. Some of them may have APIs that you can query in your client-side JS or via a small microservice of your own to get your “most viewed” post list.
