I downloaded the file at 
https://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_5.4/histograms.2.gnu
and edited to suit my data file:

#!/usr/bin/gnuplot -persist 
set datafile separator comma
set datafile columnheaders
set boxwidth 0.9 absolute
set style fill   solid 1.00 border lt -1
set key fixed right top vertical Right noreverse noenhanced autotitle nobox
set style histogram clustered gap 1 title textcolor lt -1
unset parametric
set datafile missing '-'
set style data histograms
set xtics border in scale 0,0 nomirror rotate by -45  autojustify
set xtics  norangelimit 
set xtics   ()
set title "Wendell Website Landing Pages" 
set xrange [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set x2range [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set yrange [ 0.00000 : 7000. ] noreverse writeback
set y2range [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set zrange [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set cbrange [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set rrange [ * : * ] noreverse writeback
set colorbox vertical origin screen 0.9, 0.2 size screen 0.05, 0.6 front  noinvert bdefault
NO_ANIMATION = 1
plot "WendellWebsite-Jan1-Dec31-2025-Landing_page_Landing_page.csv" \
         using 1:xticlabels(1), '' u 2 ti col, '' u 3 ti col, '' u 4 ti col

But while it *mostly* works, it does not do the xtic labels, as shown in this 
screen shot:

What am I doing wrong?

The data file looks like this:
# ----------------------------------------
