[XenDev] Viewing Statistics 2026-03-12

What is [XenDev] View Statistics?

[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.
