OT - HTML "hit" counter

I know this has nothing to do with COBOL, but I thought someone in this frie
ndly
(???) group could help me.

I am in search of a FREE "hit counter" to put on one of my (non-commercial) 
HTML
web pages.  The one that my ISP "provides" in their web-page builder seems t
o
only work occasionally - and causes a LONG delay in "loading".

Any suggestions? (I wouldn't mind the actual code to "use" to replace someth
ing
like

Hi:

I have used the code provided by gostats.com. There are tons of them,
actually.
But, gostats.com will provide lots of information about who visits your
site, browser, etc. Also, if people find your site using a search
engine,
it will provide the name of the engine and the search terms used.  I
have their counters on many of my various pages and they seem to work
perfectly well.

What languages do you have available?  PHP?  Perl?  Do you have a
database, such as MySQL, available on the same server?

With PHP it is easy enough to do with a file or single-row table to hold
the current hit number.  Then a script to read the file/table and use a
graphics object to draw (cuter) your hit number or render it as text
(faster).

But a great deal depends on the environment available.
