Add-ons Traffic Counter & Forum Statistics (Real-Time, GeoIP, AMS) 1.7.4

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your continuous feedback! This update brings a crucial structural improvement, specifically designed to optimize performance on high-traffic boards.

Thanks to the reports from our community (specifically regarding XenForo cron entries stalling and thread views not updating), I have completely refactored how the add-on handles database maintenance.

Changelog 1.7.4:

• Major Performance Overhaul: Moved heavy database tasks (such as pruning old logs and aggregating yesterday's traffic data) out of the real-time Widget.
• New Dedicated Cron Entry: Maintenance operations are now handled by a lightweight, dedicated background Cron process (Statistiche - Manutenzione Giornaliera). It runs silently once a day, completely eliminating database bottlenecks during peak traffic hours.
• Fixed System Cron Stalling: Resolved the issue where heavy DELETE queries under high traffic could lock the database tables and stall XenForo's native cron queue.
• Ultra-Light Widget: The sidebar widget now only performs fast SELECT operations, drastically reducing the overall load on your server.

Upgrade Instructions:Simply upload the new files and upgrade the add-on from your Admin Control Panel. Your existing data and history are 100% safe. The new cron will automatically respect your existing "Pruning Days" setting in the add-on options.

Thank you to everyone who helped test and report this!

Changelog:

• NEW: Top Blocked Bots Chart: Added a new horizontal bar chart to the main report page. It displays today's "Top 10 Blocked Bots," giving you immediate visual feedback on exactly who is attacking your forum and being stopped by the AI/Junk Shields.
• PERFORMANCE: Core Optimization: Implemented an optimized version of the core file (Listener.php) featuring a smart cache limiting system. This reduces database write operations by approximately 90% without losing tracking precision.
• OPTION: Navigation Link: Added a new setting to enable a public statistics link positioned under the "Members" tab (useful if you prefer not to use the sidebar widget). The link location can be fully customized and moved anywhere via the XenForo Admin Panel (Public Navigation).
• DESIGN: Visual Overhaul: The report page graphics have been completely rewritten to provide a cleaner, more modern, and easier-to-read visualization of your data.

What's New in 1.6.1?

Bot Intelligence & AI DetectionWe have rewritten the detection engine from scratch. The addon now distinguishes between:

• Authorized Crawlers (Green): Essential traffic like Google, Bing, Yahoo.
• AI & LLM Scrapers (Purple): Identify who is training on your data (ChatGPT, GPTBot, Claude, CCBot).
• Aggressive/Unknown Bots (Red): Commercial crawlers (Ahrefs, Semrush, MJ12) and unclassified traffic.

Traffic Insight (Health Score)No need to guess if your traffic is healthy. The new "Traffic Insight" box gives you an immediate A/B/C Grade based on the ratio between real humans and aggressive bots.

• Score A: Healthy traffic.
• Score C: High risk / Bot spam detected -> Recommendations included (e.g., "Consider enabling WAF").

Glass Mode & Dark Theme PerfectionWe have improved the UI for dark styles. Charts now support a beautiful "Glass Mode" with transparency effects, and labels automatically adapt to ensure perfect readability on dark backgrounds.

Other Improvements:

• Database: Optimized table structure for bot name storage.
• Security: Enhanced core integrity checks.
• Setup: Improved upgrade routine for smoother transition from older versions.
