This page is called "Configuration Settings" and is where settings related to visitor counting are made. On this page, users can specify how the visitor counter will work and what data it will collect. Below you will find a description of each setting:

* **Count Type:**
  * **Page View:** This option will increment the visitor count each time a new page load is detected. It's a good measure of total page traffic, but keep in mind it counts multiple views by the same visitor.
  * **Unique Visitor:** Selecting this option means the counter will only increment once for each unique visitor, regardless of how many times that individual visits or reloads the page. This is useful for tracking the number of distinct users that visit your page.
* **Time Period :** This setting enables you to define the time frame for the visitor count. By selecting a period like "1 Hour," you configure the counter to display the number of visitors within the last hour.
* **Visitors Count:**
  * **Live:** This setting displays the number of visitors in real time according to the time period entered. The number is updated immediately as new visitors arrive on the page.
  * **Random:** Our system calculates a display number based on your actual live visitor count.Example: If you have 45 live visitors, our system subtracts a random number between 0 and 10 from this count. So, if the random number is 5, users may see a number like 40. We adhere to Shopify's guidelines, ensuring no misleading visitor counts. The randomization feature activates only if your live visitor count exceeds 10.
