Q: Which requests count?
A large proportion of website requests are generated by bots. Bots such as those from Google and bots from hackers that primarily search for vulnerabilities.
Is a distinction made between bots and real visitors? How are rendering and non-rendering requests from bots counted?
And how are requests that are answered with error codes 40x and 50x and contain HTML code counted?

Apr 19, 2025A: Great question! Here’s how it works:
1. Bots vs. Real Visitors: Yes, with Cloudflare integrated for bot detection, MultiLipi will count only requests made by real users. Bot traffic, including search engine bots or malicious bots, is filtered out by Cloudflare before reaching your site. As a result, only real user requests that require translation will count towards your credits. This ensures that bot traffic doesn’t consume your translation credits, providing a more accurate count based on actual user interactions with your site.
2. Rendering vs. Non-rendering Requests:
Only the requests that result in visible content being rendered on the page (i.e., actual content viewed by the user) will count as translation requests. Non-rendering requests, such as those made by bots that don’t fully render the page, will not consume translation credits.
3. Error Codes (40x/50x):
Requests that result in error pages (e.g., 404, 500) are generally not counted as translation requests unless they still load content. If an error page loads content that would be translated (like custom error messages), those requests may count, but most errors are excluded from the translation count.
I hope this clears up your queries! Let me know if you need further details or have any other questions.
