Custom button to update field on click

Hello,
I am new to salesforce and I would like to know how to create custom button to update record's field value on click.
Should I use lightning component + apex code or is it possible achieve it without code?
Example - what I am trying to achieve:
FieldName:  Times clicked
FieldValue = 0 + 1 time clicked // sObject_c.TimesClicked++

If you want to save record, You can do it in visualforce too 
<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:form>
    
    <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Account">
        <apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:inputField value="{! Account.Name }"/>        
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:commandButton action="{! save }" value="Save" />        
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

This code saves the account record with Account name,
for your problem , you can achieve it by using javascript

I have made onclick JavaScript custom button to do that, but I need alternative for lightning expirience, because only salesfroce classic supports javascript custom buttons. I need that button to be at the record's page.

Hi Arnas Baronas,
You need to create a custom URL button this button is visible in both classic and lightning.

Thanks
