HX-History-Restore-Request ~ htmx

The HX-History-Restore-Request request header is set to true when the user navigates back or forward in history.

htmx restores the previous state without a full page reload. Use this to skip side effects during history restoration.

Example

Skip analytics for restored pages.


if request.headers.get('HX-History-Restore-Request'):
    # Don't log analytics or run side effects
    return render_content()
else:
    log_page_view()
    return render_content()
