Also most humans do use browsers, so if you don't have any following requests for resources like scripts, images or just the favicon, you probably got visited by a bot.

Not all humans use browsers that issue requests for additional resources.

I have my browser configured to retrieve the page only and no additional requests for CSS, images, or javascript.
