Add a lightweight visitor counter to any web page with a copy-paste script. The counter stores hits in each visitor's browser using localStorage — no signup, no tracking pixels, no cookies that need GDPR consent.
A hit counter shows how many times a visitor has seen a particular page. Old-school 'site visitor counters' from the 1990s required a server backend to track unique IPs. Modern privacy-friendly counters use localStorage to track per-visitor counts without sending any data anywhere — perfect for personal sites, hobby projects, or supplementing real analytics with a fun visible widget.
The tool shows your own visit count for this page (incremented on every visit), plus a copy-paste <script> snippet you can drop into any HTML page. The snippet uses window.localStorage to store and increment a per-page count entirely on the client side — no requests, no servers.
Use it on personal sites, retro-style guestbook pages, hackathon projects, MVPs without analytics infrastructure, or as a lightweight supplement to Google Analytics. Not a substitute for real analytics: per-visitor localStorage means each visitor sees only their own count, not your global traffic.
For real analytics, install Plausible or Fathom (privacy-friendly) or Google Analytics 4 (free, comprehensive). Use this hit counter as a fun visible element, not your source of truth. Reset works per-page since localStorage is keyed on path.
No. localStorage is per-browser, so each visitor sees only their own count. For global counts you need a server-side analytics tool.
Yes — localStorage that doesn't leave the device isn't a 'cookie' in the GDPR sense. No consent banner needed for this counter.
Yes — edit the document.write line in the snippet to wrap the number in any HTML you want.
