Quick add to:

The Common Ninja Visitor Counter is a free, no-code widget that displays total visits, today's hits, online users right now, or any custom time frame on your website.

Pick from multiple counter layouts and skins, animate the digits as they tick up, and paste one line of embed code on 200+ platforms including Google Sites, Canva, Blogger, Carrd, and Neocities.

A modern take on the classic hit counter, with full design control and no exposed visitor data.

Why Add a Visitor Counter to Your Website?

  • Build social proof with live visitor counts

    A visible "12,847 visits" or "23 online right now" tells new visitors the site is active and trusted. Social proof reduces bounce, increases time on page, and helps conversion on pages where credibility matters most: pricing, sign-up, checkout, hero.

  • Show portfolio reach and blog popularity

    Personal sites, blogs, and portfolios benefit from a public reach number more than commercial pages. A visit count next to your work signals momentum to recruiters, clients, and editors who land cold and need a fast credibility cue.

  • Bring back the classic hit-counter aesthetic

    Old-web nostalgia drives entire communities on Neocities, Blogger, Tumblr, and personal homepages. A retro odometer or LCD-style counter ties a modern site to that aesthetic without dropping in a brittle 1998 GeoCities script.

  • Showcase site growth in the open

    Founders, indie hackers, newsletter writers, and creators build trust by sharing their numbers publicly. A visible total-visits counter on the homepage tells visitors the project is real, growing, and worth their attention.

Get started in 3 steps

How it works

  1. Pick your counter style

    Choose between an animated digit reel, classic LCD hit-counter, minimal inline text, or social-proof badge layout. Set what to display: total visitors, today's hits, online users right now, or any combination across three configurable time-frame slots.

  2. Customize the design

    Match your brand with prebuilt skins or fine-tune colors, fonts, digit shape, background, border, padding, and animation speed. Add custom CSS for anything else. The counter reads as part of the page instead of looking like a third-party badge.

  3. Embed one line of code

    Copy the embed snippet and paste it where you want the counter to render. Visit tracking starts immediately, updates in real time, and never needs a code change to refresh the display.

What you get with the Common Ninja Visitor Counter widget

Multiple counter layouts and skins

Switch between an animated digit reel, classic LCD hit-counter, minimal inline text, or social-proof badge in one dropdown. Pick a prebuilt skin or customize each element so the counter blends with your page instead of looking like a third-party widget.

Real-time visitor tracking

The counter updates live as visitors arrive. Show "online now" for the current session window, "today" for the rolling 24 hours, or "total" for the lifetime count. Three configurable time-frame slots on every widget.

Full design customization

Colors, fonts, digit shape, background, border, padding, animation speed, and custom CSS for anything else. The counter inherits your brand and never sits as a foreign block on the page.

Responsive on every device

Mobile-first sizing and fluid layout means the counter reads the same on a phone, a tablet, and a 27-inch desktop. No clipped digits, no broken alignment, no "view desktop site" fallback.
