The metric type you want is "counter", which is incremented on each hit.
However you need to be careful here, as you may end up with a cardinality
explosion if you label your metrics with {domain="X", page="Y",
browser="Z"}. That is, there's an unlimited number of pages which could be
scraped, you'll see these requests from bots, attacker scripts etc.
If you are going to use prometheus for this, you need to be careful to
sanitise the input data, e.g. select from a small list of pre-existing
domains, pages, and browsers, and ignore all unknown values. Otherwise you
may be better off with ad-hoc log analysis tools.
