Update: More Page View Counting Refinement
May 28, 2012Matthew Prince

Summary
This post refines Cloudflare's page view counting algorithm. It addresses cases where objects were incorrectly classified as text/html when they were images or non-HTML, and fixes instances where 300 redirects were counted as page views, leading to double counting. The net impact is small for most sites but can be significant for others, bringing page view stats closer to beacon-based tracking systems while still reporting higher numbers due to crawler traffic.
