Overview
The Hit Counter plugin for WordPress is a lightweight solution designed to track and display the number of unique visitors and page-views on your website, without causing performance issues. It offers flexibility by allowing users to display either unique visitor counts or page-view counts, or both, anywhere on the site using widgets and shortcodes. Key features include an AJAX-based counter that ignores most bots or crawlers, providing reliable metrics, and an admin dashboard that includes monthly and weekly graphs for traffic analysis. The counter continues to function even without active widgets or shortcodes, ensuring consistent data collection. Users can also reset the counter to any desired number at any time. This plugin is ideal for website owners looking to monitor and showcase their site's traffic seamlessly.

This plugin has ZERO support, doesn’t work right anymore and not compatible with WP 5.8.
Pitty.

I have been using this plugin on various sites now for years. It continues to function simply, and yet has everything you would want to display page visits and unique visitors. Looking for simple and works? This is it.

This plugin worked great for a long time, but all of a sudden, it is displaying 32,893 visitors. While I wish that was the case, it’s way off. And if I use the plugin control panel settings to reset it to something sane like 7300, as soon as it refreshes its back again to over 32,000. Sounds like a short/long integer problem?

Shows Visitors or Pageviews.
Important for me: individual Start-Values.
Some Settings for Layout or something would be nice.
