How it looks in a blog post
Three sample articles. The widgets are real.
France · Europe
The Eiffel Tower: when to go to skip the worst of the crowds
Arrive at the wrong hour and you will spend more time in line than looking up at the tower.
Crowd data: CrowdPinch
Check the hourly pattern for your date before you book: evenings are often calmer than midday.
Peru · South America
Machu Picchu without the crowds: a timing guide
Entry is capped and sold by time slot, but not every slot feels the same.
Crowd data: CrowdPinch
The first groups of the day usually see the terraces before the trains from Cusco arrive.
Greece · Europe
Oia at sunset: how to actually get a view
The caldera walkways fill up every evening, and the best viewpoints go early.
Crowd data: CrowdPinch
Midday is surprisingly walkable: most visitors save Oia for the evening.
This line under the widget is part of the code: it is the link back to CrowdPinch.
How it works
Pick the destination
The one in your article: the Louvre, the Colosseum, Disneyland Paris or any of the 1,000 attractions.
Copy the code
Works on WordPress, Ghost, Wix, Squarespace or plain HTML: it is an iframe.
It updates itself
Crowd level, best time and usual opening hours stay current without you touching anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no visit limits and no ads inside the widget.
Will it slow down my page?
No: it only loads when the reader scrolls to that part of the article.
Does it use cookies or track my readers?
No. The widget has no analytics and no cookies, so it does not change your privacy notice.
Can I add my own link or brand?
Not in the free widget. For a version with your brand, your links or a booking button, write to us.
Is the data live?
It combines each place’s historical pattern with recent traveller reports. When there are no recent reports, it shows the typical pattern for that day and hour.
What if the service changes or stops?
The widget is free and provided as is: it may change or be discontinued at any time (see section 7 of the Terms). Your page keeps working; only the widget frame stops showing data.
Hotel, tour or attraction?
We are preparing a version with your brand, your opening hours and your bookings. Write to us and we will let you know first.
