How It Works

A brief overview of the pageview counter

This demo showcases a pageview counter implemented using Next.js and Algolia. Here's a quick rundown of how it works:

  1. When the page loads, we fetch the current count from Algolia
  2. We increment the count and update it in Algolia
  3. The new count is displayed on the page

This approach combines server-side rendering for the initial count and client-side updates for real-time increments.
