If you want total accuracy, then the only solution is to analyze your HTTP logs like this. You won't get much in the way of knowing your clients, except what comes through in the HTTP requests, e.g. URI, IP address, browser and platform, but you'll also know you're not missing any requests.
- jefftk 5y agoMost people running sites care less about exactly counting the number of requests than knowing details about their visitors and behavior. If I try to process my server logs directly I either need to manually filter out bots, which are the majority of traffic, or I need to use some sort of collaboratively maintained bot identification system. Alternatively, I can use any of the services people are mentioning here and they will do that for me.
- joshyi 5y agoI think it depends a lot in what you are after. Accurate results through the logs, including bots. Or inaccurate results via JS. Bunch of services folks are using out there that blocks them.
