I created a middleware that will attach with all routes and count visits. Put this before your routes in app.js

let page_visits = {};
let visits = function (req, res, next) {
  let counter = page_visits[req.originalUrl];
  if(counter || counter === 0) {
    page_visits[req.originalUrl] = counter + 1;
  } else {
    page_visits[req.originalUrl] = 1;
  }
  console.log(req.originalUrl, counter);
  next();
};

app.use(visits);

let count=0;

function countMiddleware(req,res,next){
count++;
if(next)next();
}

app.use(countMiddleware);

function countMiddleware is acting as middleware ,so it will be executed for every request.count variable is incremented for every request that is logged on your server

Why not to count it by yourself?

let pingCount = 0;
app.get('/ping',(req, res) => {
  pingCount++;
  res.send(`ping world for ${pingCount} times`);
});
