A counter that fits your website
Choose how your statistics appear on the page, or keep the counter completely invisible. You can change your choice later without creating a new counter.
Visible counter
A compact text counter that shows the statistics you choose, in your own colors.
Ticker bar
A slim bar fixed to the top or bottom of the page that scrolls your statistics from right to left. Choose full or half width. Visitors can pause it by hovering and close it with one click.
Invisible tracking
Collect statistics without showing anything on the page, so your layout stays exactly as designed.
- Pick the numbers to show: visitors online now, visitors and page views today, this month and last month, total page views, total visitors, and an optional link to your statistics.
- Set the background and text colors, the counter language and the starting number.
- Choose your timezone so daily reports match your day.
- Works on any website that lets you add a short script.
Set up in about a minute
No installation, no plugin and no account.
Create your counter
Enter your website address and choose your language, timezone and display style. An email address is optional.
Paste one line of code
Copy the embed code and add it to the pages you want to track, for example in your site footer.
Open your dashboard
Use the private admin link you receive to read your reports. Your first visits appear shortly after the code is live.
<script src="https://gnrcounter.com/counter.php?accId=YOUR_COUNTER_ID"></script>
Change your counter any time, without coding
Paste your existing code, or just your 32-character counter ID, into the code editor. Choose new options with a live preview of your own site and copy the updated code. No account and no new counter needed.
- Switch between the counter, the ticker bar and invisible tracking.
- Change colors, position, width, language and the statistics shown.
- See the result on your own website before you copy the code.
For developers: URL parameters
Add parameters to the code address to override options on a single page: type (text, ticker, hidden), pos (top, bottom), width (full, half), bg and text (hex colors), stats (the numbers to show) and lang (any of the 16 languages). Parameters you leave out keep the settings saved for your counter.
...counter.php?accId=YOUR_ID &type=ticker&pos=top&width=half &bg=1E3A5F&text=FFFFFF &stats=online,today,total,link&lang=en

Exclude your own visits
Open your website once with ?gnrc-hideme=1 added to the address and that browser is no longer counted. Use ?gnrc-hideme=0 to count it again.

Add an optional email address when you create a counter. We send your codes and a confirmation link, and you can recover your codes later from the recovery page.
- IP addresses are masked wherever they are shown.
- We do not collect names, email addresses or phone numbers of your visitors.
- A small cookie of up to 7 days tells new visitors from returning ones.
