As of now, we are just incrementing the hits of the URL without actually verifying the source! A simple python bot can be made to increase the hit count!

How can you prevent that ?
The bot can spoof itself to be a real browser (via Selenium)

This is an unsolvable problem

We can watch for missing headers or obselete user-agent.

As for selenium, yeah that is unsolvable 😅

Should we close this as a wont-fix ?
