You could use an external analytics service like Fathom Analytics or Matomo, or you could write a plugin that extends this one (or just use the PHP code section on your blog posts details page) to track a visit every time someone requests the page. I would recommend the external analytics provider generally since doing analytics as a part of your rendering process can cause a number of issues (extra load on the server, can't employing content caching strategies, potential for abuse to balloon your stats and make them completely useless, etc)
