Visitor and hit counter for Wix

Wix’s own Hit Counter app has not been supported since 24 May 2025. A Stats4U counter goes onto the page through Embed HTML instead – free, with no app and no sign-up. Wix places embedded code in a separate frame. The counter works there, but it often sees the address of that frame instead of your page – that is why statistics from Wix sites can show addresses ending in filesusr.com.

Step by step

1. Pick a design on Stats4U and copy the code from the HTML tab.
2. In the Wix Editor click Add Elements → Embed Code → Popular Embeds → Embed HTML. In Wix Studio: Add Elements → Embed & Social → Embed Code.
3. Choose “Code”, paste the counter code and click Update.
4. Drag the frame to the size of the counter and publish the site.

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.

Good to know

• Wix only displays embedded content served over https. The Stats4U code always uses https.
• The frame is a fixed box. If the counter is cut off, make the box bigger; if there is empty space around it, make it smaller.
• Because of the frame, the list of pages in your statistics may show the frame address instead of your page names. Visitors and countries are counted normally.
• A different design later? In step 3, under “Already have a Stats4U counter? Keep its number”, paste your old number – the new code keeps counting in the same statistics, including the total so far.
