Hey guys I got a code from a site to count number of visits to a page .(need help understanding it's working)

Question

https://code.sololearn.com/W2GYykIIA2ZT/?ref=app

I tried it on sololearn and another mobile compiler and the code counts both. I don't know much on html so I can't understand deeply but can someone explain to me how it's workin?(just functioning)

Answer 1

Main code is on line 9. Every time code runs and browser receives image from src, their PHP page increases one hit per one server request.

Answer 2

If you have curiosity:
initCount is initial count - means from which number to start hit counter.
Digits can be changed as some sites have hits in millions - they need at least 7 digits.
Style - as you wish there are 50 different styles.

Answer 3

partha I believe that at hitwebcounter.com
there is a backend script that increments a counter
everytime it receives a request for the page.

Answer 4
