What is W3Counter?
W3Counter is a free web analytics service that provides basic yet useful website traffic statistics. It is easy to install by simply adding a tracking code to your website pages. W3Counter tracks important metrics including:
- Total visits and unique visitors
- Most visited pages
- Referring websites
- Search keywords and phrases
- Browser types

The free plan offers a dashboard for up to 3 websites with limited historical data available. Paid plans unlock more detailed reports, longer data history, email reports, and support for unlimited websites. Key features include customizable reports, real-time stats, traffic trends, visitor profiles, entry/exit pages, and more.
W3Counter lacks some advanced features offered by leading paid solutions like Google Analytics. However, it provides easy to understand stats for individuals and smaller websites to monitor basic traffic. The free plan makes it easy to get started tracking website analytics without any costs.
