number of page hits

is there a way to get how many times a page has been viewed..i.e. a view has been called?

No, you would have to log it to a database or a flat file.

If you do end up logging thi (eg to a database or other) I would recommend using a post system hook so the extra query doesn't delay showing the user the rendered page, but does it after thats been sent to them

I'd use a database backend to increment a field value whenever a page is viewed. However, there are other options like Analytics if you don't want a CI solution.

If you are on a shared hosting account, many have the awestats program, and it shows this info. You don't need to install anything. I like to use statcounter.com to log site visits, but this doesn't really show what pages are most popular.
