UX Design Techdegree Student 787 PointsQuestion about website
Hi, I have my website build using HTML, CSS , Javascript .
I want to display number a counter on my website which will increment every time any user over the world visits my website.
I do not have any database, I read online that for this I have to create a database but I do not know how and what code I need. Can anyone help me?

Check out this thread for a discussion as to why it's not common (circa 2015):
