Hosting - what counts as a page impression for billing?

We are looking at using Discourse, and will embed the output of topics on certain pages. We frequently have pages with 10s of 000s of views so this could have a big impact on which plan we should be on. I presume I’m correct in assuming you count these remote calls?

We count a page view for

  1. A HTTP GET request (non ajax) to any of our routes
  2. A HTTP GET (ajax request) that is adorned with a header that tells to count a page view. This happens when you navigate around the site (move from one topic to another topic, etc)

OK Thanks. I may have to look more seriously into self-hosting if things get too hot.

If things get too hot its a great problem to have :slight_smile:

Keep in mind we will not cut anyone off for reaching the limit, we simply work with the customers to find a better plan (or custom plan). Also our traffic counting is per month, so it allows for spikes.
