Is there a way for the code on a site to detect whether or not someone accessed it through a QR code?

I want to make a site that uses QR codes, and for user analytics I want to see how many people access it through the code, but I don't want a GET parameter for this because I don't want any URL guessing giving me incorrect stuff. Any way to detect QR code access?

No.

Besides something in the URL, you only really have the headers. For example, if you assume all mobile traffic to the URL is from a QR code reader, you could sniff for a mobile User-Agent header. Doesn't seem very robust, tho.

Not really, but you can use a URL shortener such as bit.ly to collect analytics.
