[FIX] Statistics Module does not count node views

So I happened to run into an issue, when Statistics module in Drupal 8 did not count any views and was always set to 0. In this super short tutorial I am going to show you why!

Check out these issue threads with the same problem:

Enable counting of node views

Navigate to this link - /admin/config/system/statistics - and enable the only checkbox which is by default disabled!

(My installation is in Slovak language, but you get the point)

Do not forget to run Cron

Statistics module counts views in cache, so you need to run cron in order for views to be counted and printed out.
