     @ActionRetro That is googlebot scraping you for Gogole's search engine, right? Nothing nefarious I think.

     Maybe create an external site to register to get a token, or just a function to generate a token that is valid for x hours/days.

     And upon usage of the site, validate to token if needed. Like the VPN Mullvad. No real IDs, just a string that sets an header.

     And only enforce if the site has some form of increased usage. Like a threshold of some sort.
