A referrer check would work in many contexts, however, the primary intent of this project is for use on GitHub. GitHub has a caching later that prevents tracking docs.github.com/en/github/authenti... - this is a “for fun” project that I made quickly in hopes people would have fun with it on their GitHub profiles. If this were a commercial product or an analytics package that was not for use on GitHub, I would check the referrer among other things.
If you are interested in making changes (as a new project), the code is available in the prior article mentioned above (noting there is no database in that version)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
