Visitor counter for GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages serves your files as they are, so the code goes straight into the page. Markdown pages built with Jekyll work as well: its Markdown converter passes raw HTML through, including the script tag.

Step by step

1. Pick a design on Stats4U and copy the code from the HTML tab.
2. For a counter on every page, put it into the layout – for example _layouts/default.html or _includes/footer.html – just before </body>.
3. For a single page, paste it into the .html or .md file where the counter should appear.
4. Commit and push. The site is rebuilt after a short while.

The code

Tab for this platform: HTML

<script src="https://www.stats4u.net/s4u.js"
        data-id="12345" data-style="3903" async></script>

In this example the counter number is 12345 and the design is a sample. The wizard gives you your own number and the design you pick.
