如何识别网页的真实访问

Question

what we want to do :
our system is redirecting all connections of clients to our web server (as like : www.example.com/index) .
in client PC if something (app , win update , messengers and ... ) wants to connect to the internet that will be redirect to that address .
we want to track web visits which a client visit that with opening web browser and submitting our address not those are coming from applications .

issues :
we are using Zend Framework , php and javascript
some applications maybe run java scripts , so that'll not use full (some exception).
tracking IP address can not possible if we want to submit visit for each page separately.
some applications get sessions like a visitor . (and also cookies)

what we do :
using java script code for listening mouse move event and when it happen we send our log info with ajax . so this will be show that the real visitor is visiting a page .

Question :
is there any better way for tracking this visits ?

Answer 1

Maybe you can try 'pinging' the server by loading a hidden image via JavaScript when the webpage loads. Something like this:

window.addEventListener("load",function() {
    var img = document.createElement("img");
    img.src = "/pingme.php";
    img.style.display = "none";

    document.body.appendChild(img);
},false);
