Important:
As of May 24th, 2025 the Hit Counter app will no longer be supported. To ensure your site continues running without interruptions, we recommend switching to the Hit Counter app by POWR.
Show your visitors how many people are visiting your site with the Wix Hit Counter app. Your counter updates your site traffic in real-time, and you can choose to show all site visits, or visits from unique visitors. 

You can choose if you want the counter to appear on one page, or on all your site's pages, and you can customize the counter to match your site's appearance.
