User agent

Requests from Page Modified Pinger carry a user agent like this:

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

Page Modified Pinger

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 Page Modified Pinger

Vireo keeps requests from Page Modified Pinger 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 Page Modified Pinger's user agents.
