AJAX LiveCounter is based on the old school java version LiveCounter classic from Chami.com. But is really old and it needs java. And Java is not that fast... ;)
That's way I wrote a new AJAX version. It's easier to install, it loads faster and it works on all devices. Including mobile phones!
The animation is made by Gavin Brock. I used his excellent CSS/JavaScript Animated Odometer
This LiveCounter works with AJAX requests, so all requests are done in the background of the website. With these AJAX requests the counter is able to go up or down in number without reloading the page. This way you get an animated live counter that is showing the amount of visitors at that moment. It is near realtime. That is way it is called "live" counter.
The LiveCounter does a request every 30 seconds. That are two requests every minute. So every 30 seconds the counter can change up or down. The LiveCounter shows counts the unique amount of visitors that were active in the last 2 minutes.
Currently there are number of visitors:
As a website owner you just insert one line of code in your page. And your done! That is really all!!. Go start right away and copy the code below and past it in your website. You can make as many counters as you need/want. Just reload this page and get a new free AJAX LiveCounter.
NEW code:
Currently active users:
Currently active counters:
Currently doing requests per second:
In order to count visitors we use a database to log your IP number and a unique session. We don't log any more of you. And all data that is older than 2 minutes will be deleted. We don't count visitors that are inactive more than 2 minutes and therefor we don't need that data anymore.
