HowManyVisitors

How many visitors?

Analytics like it's 1999. None of the tracking that came after.

The Counter

An LED hit counter you paste onto your site. It ticks up on every visit.

The Map

Where people visit from, city by city — not who they are.

The Public Page

A live stats page you can link to, if you want.

Why we built this

Every site used to have a hit counter — public, cookieless, no fuss. Then analytics turned into surveillance. We wanted the counter back.

We don't track people. We count them.

One line of HTML

Paste it anywhere — the number goes up. No script tag, no build step. Works anywhere an image loads — including RSS and Markdown.

What we collect (and don't)

No cookies. We don't set them and don't need them.

No fingerprinting. No canvas tricks, no device IDs.

No cross-site tracking. Each site gets its own sealed visitor IDs.

Daily-rotating hashes. Uniques for today can't link to yesterday.

IP used once. Looked up for city, then discarded — never stored.

JS embeds honor DNT & GPC. Static embeds have nothing to opt out of.

How it works →

Free. Really.

Unlimited pageviews. No ads, no data brokers.

Hit counters were the original analytics. We just made them cookieless.
