[XenDev] View Statistics is a powerful statistics add-on for XenForo 2.3 that helps make forum activity more visible, trackable, and engaging.
Instead of keeping profile visits, thread reads, and forum browsing hidden in the background, this add-on turns them into useful data that both administrators and users can actually see and benefit from.
What Does It Do?
The main purpose of this add-on is to show how users interact with your forum content.
With [XenDev] View Statistics, you can easily track:
Profile views
Thread views
Forum views
Recent viewers
Live viewers
Most viewed content
This means you can quickly understand which profiles, threads, and forums are getting the most attention.
Why Is It Useful?
This add-on helps transform normal forum traffic into meaningful engagement data.
It allows you to answer questions like:
- How many times has a member profile been viewed?
- Who recently visited this thread or forum?
- How many users are currently reading this page?
- Which threads are the most popular?
- Which forums attract the most activity?
- Which members receive the most profile visits?
For administrators, this makes it much easier to identify active sections, popular discussions, and valuable content.
For users, it adds a more dynamic and interactive experience by showing who recently visited and who is currently viewing content in real time.
