In the past, visitor counters were popular. Today however, you don’t see them as much and there are good reasons for this.
Visible visitor counters are outdated
Although visitor counters and other badges were popular in the early days of personal and professional websites, their popularity has declined now. The reason is that the code used for these visitor counters is often outdated, which can negatively affect your website performance.
Adding outdated code to your website can slow it down and impact the user experience.
There are better methods
Today, there are more modern tools available that provide more useful and detailed insights. We recommend using the internal statistics feature of your Jimdo website.
With the Creator Business, Creator Shop, and Creator Platinum plans, you can view your visitor numbers in the menu under SEO > Settings > Statistics.
With the Creator Free plan, you can use Google Analytics to track your visitor data.
Your visitor numbers might only be important to you
Note: What’s interesting for you is not necessarily relevant for your visitors.
If you’d still like to add a visitor counter to your website, you can do so by adding the code into a Widget HTML Element. One simple option is the POWr Hit Counter.
