Display last update and visitor count on Neocities

This guide is for publicly displaying the date your site was last updated and how many visitors you've had on your website.

This guide uses the technique as explained by Dannarchy @ Neocities.

1. Edit the page you want to display these values on, and paste the following code before your closing </body> tag.

<script>
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
        var site_data = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
        var num_arr = site_data.info.views.toString().split("");
        var num_str = "";
        for (i = 0; i < num_arr.length; i++) {
            num_str += num_arr[i];
            if ( (num_arr.length-1 - i) % 3 == 0 && (num_arr.length-1 - i) != 0 ) {num_str += ",";}
            var date_str = site_data.info.last_updated;
            var date_obj = new Date(site_data.info.last_updated);
            document.getElementById("lastupdate").innerHTML = (date_obj.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date_obj.getDate() + "-" + date_obj.getFullYear();
        }
        document.getElementById("hitcount").innerHTML = num_str;
    }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "https://weirdscifi.ratiosemper.com/neocities.php?sitename=USERNAME", true);
xhttp.send();
</script>
                    

2. In the code above, change the USERNAME value to match your Neocities username.
3. To display the last update, use this code where you'd like it to show up:

Last Updated: <span id="lastupdate"></span>

4. To display the visitor count, use this code:

You are Visitor #: <span id="hitcount"></span>

5. Save and view your file to verify that it worked.
