In this section, you will learn how we calculate the widget views and why these numbers might differ from those in your other analytics tools. Discover how widget views work within EmbedSocial and how you can effectively monitor and manage them to maximize your website’s social engagement and performance. Additionally, you'll learn about the view limits per widget in our plans.

A widget view is counted each time someone loads the page where your widget is embedded. Every time a visitor accesses a page where the widget is displayed, one view is counted.

Please note that the number of widget views on your website impacts your plan. If your website experiences higher traffic, you may need to upgrade to a higher plan.

Here’s a breakdown of the monthly view limits per widget for each plan:

View limits are counted every month and apply to the whole account, not to individual widgets or websites. This means that if you have multiple widgets from the same EmbedSocial account or the same widget placed on different pages, the views will accumulate. For example, loading two widgets from the same account on a single page will count as two separate views.

If you notice that your views are being used up more quickly than expected, please check these points:

Where the widget is embedded - If you embed the widget on every page of your site instead of just one specific page, the widget will receive more views compared to being embedded on only a single page.

Number of widgets you create in one account - The view limit for each account is shared across all your widgets. For example, the limit for the free plan is 2,000 views per month, and this total applies to all the widgets you’ve created, not 2,000 views for each individual widget.

Number of Websites - The more websites you embed your widgets on, the more views your widgets will have.

Your views as owner - To ensure that your own interactions with the widgets do not count towards your view limits, make sure you are logged into your EmbedSocial account from the same browser and device you use to manage your website.

For example, if you reach the limit of 2,000 views per month with your free plan, please note that the widget will be disabled on your website until the next month. Alternatively, you can reactivate it immediately by upgrading to one of the higher plans. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us via live chat or at support@embedsocial.com.

In this section, you’ll learn how the Media per Source limits work, how media items are counted, and what happens when you reach your monthly quote. Understanding these limits can help you better manage your content.

The Media per Source limit refers to the maximum number of social media posts, images, videos, or reviews that can be imported, displayed in the widget, analyzed, or stored in your EmbedSocial account per connected source each month.

Each plan has a different limit per source, and once you reach that limit, no additional media will be imported until the next monthly reset.

Here’s an overview of the monthly media limits per connected source based on your subscription plan:

On the first day of each month, your media limit resets to zero, allowing you to start fresh with a full limit. Your previous content remains available in your dashboard, but new media imports will only resume once the new month begins.

If you reach your monthly limit before the reset:
