The Jellyfish Counter plugin provides a widget and shortcode enabling you to
easily add animated counters to your WordPress site.
Counters can be used as a manually updated total, an automatic counter that

The plugin hasn’t been updated in two years, but haven’t experienced any issues and it looks like the developer is actively responding to forum.

Many thanks for its creation.
Counter zählt nicht richtig, muss immer nachgestellt werden. Leider keine Redaktion vom Support, aber Spenden wollen sie haben für dieses schlechte Programm. Nicht zu empfehlen.
Don’t get me wrong:
this is the perfect counter!
Good documentation and a really dedicated Developer. If you use it, consider a donation, since there really is nothing like it out there.
So why the 4 stars?
The one issue I am having is the non-responsiveness of the counter size.
The only possibility I see to prevent negative impacts on your SEO is to have it hidden on mobile, for example with the “.hidden-xs” css class.
Other then that, maybe a little optimisation on performance with JS and CSS.
Very nice plugin and very customisable!
Nice work guys!
This plugin is really what I wanted, simple and customisable!!
