User agent

Requests from ContentKing carry a user agent like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36 (+https://whatis.contentkingapp.com)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

https://whatis\.contentkingapp\.com

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts ContentKing

Vireo keeps requests from ContentKing out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Uptime monitors, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over ContentKing's user agents.
