+title: Adding a web counter to your page
+author: deepend
+category: tutorials
+---
+
+To display a visit counter on your webpage, you'll need to edit your `index.html` file and insert a `<script>` tag that loads the counter.
+
+Type: `nano index.html` to open your file for editing.
+
+Add the following line *exactly where you want the counter to appear*:
+
+```html
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=yourname&style=57chevy"></script>
+```
+
+- Replace `homepage` with any identifier for the page you're tracking.
+- Replace `yourname` with your username or something unique to your site.
+- Replace `57chevy` with a different style if you'd like.
+
+Here’s an example:
+
+```html
+<p>Visitor count:
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=alice&style=web1"></script>
+</p>
+```
+
+Once you’ve added the line, save and close the file using `CTRL+X`, then press `y` and `[Enter]`.
+
+Refresh your site in your browser to see the counter.
+
+### Available Styles
+
+You can use any of these style names in the `style=` parameter:
+
+- `57chevy`
+- `7seg`
+- `bbldotg`
+- `bellbtm`
+- `blgrv`
+- `cntdwn`
+- `computer`
+- `ds9`
+- `fdb`
+- `led`
+- `links`
+- `marsil`
+- `sbgs`
+- `web1`
+
+Try different styles to see which one fits your site best.
+
+Note: The counter uses sessions and cookies to count *unique* visits per user every 24 hours (or whatever time is configured). Page refreshes won’t increase the count unless unique mode is off.
+
+If you need help or want a custom style added, reach out to the site admin.
