I’ve never missed them, never looked for them and I don’t need them at all. But they are there at the bottom of the first post.

Hi @Remah  
That’s Visit counts. Not Pageviews.

So which page view count do you actually want? You’d need to be more specific.

Visit counts are already there in Discourse. I need Pageviews (When users refresh the Page, the Count should increase) as I mentioned the example in the Image.

The figure provided is Discourse pageviews and refreshing the page does not inflate the pageview count. I doubt that you will get what you want because the Discourse team have been averse to using that type of pageview:

We work hard only to issue them on first load or when you transition routes (like move from topics to latest list) Our Page View counting is performed on the “raw requests” made (accounting for a header that informs us when to count) Bots, JavaScript disabled are counted by us but omitted from Google.

In that topic we are told:
