😔 Failed to add PV to My Website

Believe it or not, the very first feature on my old Jekyll site in 2015 was a PV (page view) counter 👀.
But when I rebuilt the site with Gatsby, I thought “eh, too easy, I’ll add it later…” — and then… I just never did 😂.

A lot of sites use 不蒜子 for PV counts, but I figured: why not build my own? 🤓
Turns out, it’s super simple — just two GET requests:

• one returns an image 🖼️
• the other returns a JSON with the count 📊

Now it’s running on Cloudflare Workers + KV, and you can spot the little 👁️ with a number on this site showing the PV count.

If you’re curious, here’s the health check link ✅

However, this is me from 20th. As I mentioned, using KV turns out to be a terrible idea 🫨. Only in two days, I used up all my quota 🫠. Now, I have changed the PV service to goatcounter.
