Adding a View Counter to Your Website with ViewCounter.io

ViewCounter.io is a service that makes it easy to add a customizable view counter to any website. With ViewCounter.io, you can:

Track Pageviews

To use ViewCounter.io, you first sign up for an account and get a unique site ID. You then add the ViewCounter tracking code before the closing </body> tag on your pages:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var viewCounter = {
    id: 12345, // your view counter ID 
    type: 'horizontal'
  }
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.viewcounter.io/js"></script>

This allows ViewCounter.io to track pageviews to your site ID on their servers.

Display the View Count

Display your current view count anywhere on your site by adding this code:

<div data-viewcounter-id="12345"></div>

This will be dynamically replaced with your view count.

Customize the Counter's Look

You can customize the counter's style, format, and messaging using parameters like:

var viewCounter = {
  id: 12345,
  type: 'vertical', 
  label: 'Page Views:'
}
