<?php
$file=fopen("Counter.txt", "r+");
$hits=fread($file,filesize("Counter.txt"));
fclose($file) ;
$hits+=1;
$file=fopen("Counter.txt", "w");
fwrite($file, $hits);

Yes, there are many free hit counter services available online that provide customizable counters for websites. However, be cautious of the reliability and accuracy of these counters as they may not always be up to date.

While hit counters may not be as popular as they once were, they can still provide valuable insights into website traffic and visitor behavior. Additionally, they can serve as a visual representation of a website's popularity and can be used for marketing and advertising purposes.
