Outstand Query Loop Analytics
=============================

[](#outstand-query-loop-analytics)

> Populates the Query Loop block with popular posts based on analytics data.

Connects to your analytics provider, retrieves the top posts by pageviews, resolves them to WordPress post IDs, and caches the results. Works with all existing Query Loop features — pagination, filtering, and custom templates.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Currently supports **Google Analytics 4**, connecting to the GA4 Data API over OAuth 2.0 to retrieve pageview data. See [docs/popular-posts.md](docs/popular-posts.md) for the full feature guide.
