Widgets
Show your numbers on your own site.
Put a live visitor count in your header, a visit counter in your footer, or your revenue on a public page. Paste one line where it should appear, and it stays up to date by itself.
Widgets are on every plan, Free too: one site, 3,000 events a month, no card needed.
One line, wherever your site lets you paste
Make a widget in the dashboard and copy its code. The Embed dialog has the exact steps for WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, Notion, React and GitHub.
A script tag
For any site that lets you paste HTML: plain pages, WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, Ghost, Wix, Squarespace, React and Next.js. The widget appears where the tag is.
<script async src="https://traffic.cx/widget.js" data-widget="wgt_…"></script>Live counts update about every 15 seconds while the widget is on screen.
An iframe
For builders that only accept iframes, such as Notion. The widget draws in a sealed frame that can’t read or change the page around it.
<iframe src="https://traffic.cx/embed/#wgt_…" width="100%" height="80"
style="border:0" loading="lazy" title="Live visitor statistics"></iframe>Updates live, like the script.
An image
For GitHub READMEs, docs, Markdown and forums, where scripts can’t run. An SVG with the numbers drawn in.
Shows recent numbers: GitHub and others refresh images every few minutes.
Start from a template
Pick one of 11 designs, from a one-line live pill to a full stats panel for a public “open” page. Change its colours, size, corners, font, theme and every word, with a preview on light and dark pages at phone, tablet and desktop widths. Browse the widgets.
Or write your own Paid plans
Write HTML and CSS with placeholders such as {{visitors}} and {{live}}, and traffic.cx fills in the numbers. Scripts are never run, and what you write is cleaned before it’s shown. Save a design once and use it on every site in your team. How placeholders work.
Show what you earn, if you want to
The revenue badge shows the revenue traffic.cx recorded for the period, from your Stripe, Dodo Payments, Lemon Squeezy or Polar payments, after refunds. It’s off until you switch it on for that one widget, and the builder reminds you that anyone who sees the widget sees the number.
Change it without touching your site
Edit a widget in the dashboard and every page that shows it updates within about a minute. Pause it and it disappears; delete it and it leaves an empty space, never an error on your page.

Frequently asked questions
Will a widget slow my site down?
No. The script loads with async, so the page never waits for it, and it's under 10 KB compressed. If anything fails, the space stays empty instead of showing an error.
Do I need a cookie banner for a widget?
Not for the widget. It sets no cookies, uses no browser storage and sends nothing about your visitors: their browser only asks traffic.cx for the numbers you chose to show. See what a widget shares.
Can I change a widget after it’s on my site?
Yes. Edit it in the dashboard and every page that shows it updates within about a minute, without touching your site’s code. Pausing or deleting it leaves an empty space, never an error.
Can I stop other sites from showing my widget?
You can list the domains a widget may appear on, and the script and iframe refuse to draw anywhere else. The numbers are still public by your choice, so treat this as a courtesy lock, not a secret.
Can I remove the traffic.cx link?
On paid plans, yes: switch it off in the builder. On the Free plan the small link stays on every widget. It’s marked nofollow, so it never passes search ranking from your site.
