Hello @vl4d

Thank you for the information.
Indeed the problem is that the views count is cached. The solution for this is programmatic.
There are two ways t approach this. The best way is to use AJAX and execute the view count with it to bypass any cache
As a reference, you may check how other plugins/themes show dynamic data e.g. Woocommerce shows their shopping cart widget.
Widget content is loaded via AJAX there with some support of local browser storage and as a result, they avoid the majority of problems with all caching plugins.
The other possibility is to use Page Fragment Cache. With this, the specific part of the PHP code can be wrapped with <mfunc> which ensures that this part of the page stays uncached.
Please check more information in our FAQ.
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
