Questions, answered
What is a flag counter?
A flag counter is a small widget for your website that shows the flags of the countries your visitors come from, with a number next to each, plus totals such as visitors and pageviews. Live Flag Counter also gives you a full statistics page with a world map, trends and live traffic.
Is Live Flag Counter free?
Yes. Counters are free with no signup, no watermark and no traffic limits for normal websites. An optional free account lets you manage all your counters in one place.
How do I add a flag counter to my website?
Design your counter in the builder, click “Create my counter” and copy the code. Paste it into your site — our step-by-step guides cover WordPress, Blogger, GitHub, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and more.
How are visitors counted?
Every time your page shows the widget we count one pageview. Each visitor is counted once, forever, by default — or, if you prefer, once a day, or on every page load (refreshes included). Search engine bots, link previews and prefetch requests are ignored.
How accurate is the country detection?
Each visitor's country is looked up from their IP address with a regularly updated database, which is accurate for the vast majority of visitors. People using a VPN appear in the VPN's country, and views through image proxies — such as GitHub READMEs — show the proxy's location.
Can I use it in my GitHub README?
Yes — copy the Markdown code. GitHub loads README images through its own servers, so choose “Every view” counting for a README, and expect views to show GitHub's location rather than real countries. See the GitHub guide.
What do you store about my visitors?
Only the country, browser, operating system, device type and the site that showed the widget. IP addresses are turned into a salted one-way hash for uniqueness checks and are never stored. Raw visit logs are deleted after 90 days.
Can I make my statistics private?
Yes. Statistics pages are public by default so you can share them, and you can make them private in your counter's settings at any time.
How do I change or delete my counter?
When you create a counter you get a private edit key. Use it on the edit page to change the design, make statistics private, reset the numbers or delete the counter. Create a free account to manage all your counters without keys.
Are there any limits?
Counters are free with no traffic limits for normal websites. We only rate-limit abusive traffic, to keep the service fast for everyone.
