Cool project! Some suggestions: 1) Add rel="nofollow" to your links on https://hitcount.me https://hitcount.me ... or say hello to SEO spammers! 2) http://hitcount.me http://hitcount.me isn't forwarding to https://hitcount.me https://hitcount.me properly. I get the default nginx page. Don't forget HSTS headers and other friends. 3) If you're going to have keepalive on, make sure your sysctl settings are tuned to handle it! Having worked on pixel servers for an ad network, I recommend sending a "Connection: close" but enabling SSL session caching/resumption. (see #4) This doesn't really matter that much until you become popular. 4) SSL could use some tweaks. Initial handshake is quite slow. Caching/resumption should be on, too. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=hitcount.me https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=hitcount.me Also, looks like you're triggering a pattern in uBlock. Not sure about other adblocker plugins. I guess "hitcount" has been used by other networks/stats systems in the past: http://i.imgur.com/C47gHwD.png http://i.imgur.com/C47gHwD.png
