Sorry for the delayed reply. Here is some sample code you can use in Magento to exclude the LiteSpeed crawler user agent from counting towards product views:
1. Create an observer
Create an observer that will trigger on the catalog_controller_product_view event. This event runs when a product page is viewed.
// Observer.php
namespace Vendor\Module\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
class ExcludeCrawlerObserver implements ObserverInterface
{
public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
// Observer code goes here
}
}
2. Check user agent and return if crawler
In the observer, check the HTTP user agent from the request. If it matches the LiteSpeed crawler user agent, return/exit early to avoid counting the view.
public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
$userAgent = $observer->getEvent()->getData('controller_action')->getRequest()->getUserAgent();
if (strpos($userAgent, 'LiteSpeed-Crawler') !== false) {
return;
}
// Rest of tracker code
}
3. Configure events.xml
Make sure to configure events.xml to enable your observer:
<!-- events.xml -->
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
<event name="catalog_controller_product_view">
<observer name="exclude_crawler_view" instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\ExcludeCrawlerObserver"/>
</event>
</config>
This should exclude any views from the LiteSpeed crawler user agent and give you accurate product view counts.
