Tiny Visitor Counter

I created a tiny script for counting per-page visitors on your site. It's as simple as uploading the PHP file to your server and pointing a <img /> tag to it. Leveraging the script as an image is an attempt to seed out bots (since they typically don't render images).

Here's a live version of the script:

You can grab the script on my Codeberg.

To setup with Pure Blog, upload the PHP file to your public folder and add the following HTML to your page and post footer HTML under Settings->Site (this assumes the script was uploaded to /visitors/index.php):

<figure class="visitor-count"><figcaption>Page View Count</figcaption><img src="/visitors/index.php" width="78" height="20" alt="view count number" /></figure>
