    No, the way to test is to simply look through your raw web server log
    files and see what the referring URL was for all these extra hits. Maybe
    you aren't aware of it, but whenever your web browser downloads any web
    page, it tells that server what page it was at previously. Privacy
    issue, or just good clean fun?
