I would like to know how can I implement a hidden hit counter. I want to do this because I want to have an raspberry pi project were a light goes on every time the website get a hit, but I don't want to show the counter on the website.
It is a website right? Then you can simply have the counter inside a div
like this:
<div class="hitcounter"></div>
And hide it using CSS:
.hitcounter {display: none;}
This way, the counter will be present in the DOM and it won't be visible in the viewport. :)
