Is there a way to do this?

I created a Blog widgets that adds a new custom post called CustomBlogPost, and I don't see a way to do a page count aside creating a new widget and then creating a new table and then incrementing a counter for each page for every Ajax Request sent to function.php and then have a hook that increments the page from the Ajax Call.

However, this would cause performance issue, because you would have to do 2 GET and a POST for every page Visit, or 1 GET and an additional SQL request and a POST for every single visit, which would undermine performance.

Is there a better way?
