Possible to recognise Instant.page requests in server logs?

[Jos512]

Thanks for making Instant.page, it's an awesome tool! 🙂

But is it possible to distinguish between actual page views and Instant.page-initiated requests in server logs?

Because not every Instant.page-query is an actual pageview, since the user might not actually click on the link he or she hovers on. So I look for a way to exclude those from my log analysis.

Thanks for any insights you may have!

We can. Chrome sends a “Purpose: prefetch” and Firefox a “X-Moz: prefetch” header while making the requests.
