Inside each tag box, show a number like in this example:

or hover

I think this can be helpful, and (hopefuly) not too hard to implement.
("online" or "up", just a hint)

Thanks 👍

I've experimented with this a few times already, but I've never found a visually clean way to add the extra information.

The problem is, some people use lots of tags, and adding any extra information makes things look very noisy.

Consider this example:

This is still relatively few tags. If we add a count on the right with a darker background:

Border instead of background:

Muted text color instead of background or border:

In each case, the tags area appears considerably more noisy. I think the last variant is least bad, but still not great.

I see. I'll make some experiments and provide feedback if I can.

What about integrate it as a tooltip on mouseover (info is available and doesn't introduce noise)?

That's an idea! It would be a bit hard to discover but it would certainly be unobtrusive.
