Features:

Each user is counted only once per day, ensuring unique visitors-per-day.
When activated, the plugin inserts a counter widget in your admin dashboard.
A widget allows you to add the numbers to any widget area on your website.
In addition, a shortcode can be used to put the counter in the footer, in a sidebar, or on a page.
The counter shows how many unique visitors have been to your site today, yesterday, the past 7 days, during this month, and during this year. (On the settings page, you can choose to hide the year-to-date numbers – maybe until you start a new year with the plugin installed.
The counter blocks the counting of most bots and crawlers, showing actual human visitors to the website.
The time zone is automatically synced with your WordPress website, so the count for a new day begins at midnight as set in the website settings.
The counter maintains records for the past year only, automatically deleting records more than a year old, keeping the database table from retaining old, unnecessary records.
When the plugin is deleted, the records stored in the website database are also deleted. (On the setting page, you can choose not to delete the database if you intend to re-install the plugin soon.
