Marion Newlevant had a clever, efficient idea in this Straight Up Craft Hangout if you don't mind having a slight lag (like a day) for your tag counts to be up to date. That idea: store the counts you ...

Date conversion returning December for every single digit month representation
Here's what's happening... Every time you get "December", it's because the date is being parsed as December 31, 1969 (aka, just before the Unix Epoch). Basically, it's failing to parse the date ...

Your postDate.day will output the number of the day in the month so if your entries postdate is 02.dd.yyyy your output is 2. Your array index will be something like [2, 3, 5, 12, 31] thus these values ...

How do I pass a URL segment to a search parameter?
You'd need to use Twig's string concatenation in order to do this with the ~ operator.

Archive page date logic stopped working
It seems that before and after() don't work with the year as an int, if instead of '2018', you use '2018-01-01', your code works again. Check this.
Basically, use a DateTime object

You can't create a date from a single digit. This is what I would do instead:
