A single shop items page (with a setting of 50 lots/page) is already approx 90
requests to BrickLink.
This could be about only 50 pages (in various shops, during 24 hrs) to reach
the 5000 requests.
But it's more than this, because your Browser caches pages, pictures, CSS
and code...
So it can be any number, it's unpredictable.
And it's a bit unfair because it'll hit more often "newbies"
because they don't have many elements in cache.
In short, one should better avoid "browsing randomly": use wanted-list,
searches, etc.

So does this mean that if you have a lot of images of parts and such in your
browser cache from searching in the past that there is less likely a chance of
reaching the BL allowed limit of browsing?

Depends what the server have initialliy said about the duration of the validity
of the said image or such.
I don't think it'll work if the images are 1 year old.
But yes, if those are recent images, the browser doesn't request anything
to the server.
It decides itself that the image (for example) is still valid and shows you the
one in the cache.
Which is one problem happens often to newbies; they just arrive, zero cache,
browse a good hundred shop pages, catalog, price guide, Help, forum and... boom.

Especially avoid stores with over 1 million items and visit smaller store with
200-400K items.
Why in the world would we tell people to not "browse randomly?" That
is what the web is for.

"Sarcasm, just one more service I offer."
I think I will add that to our store terms

At least the OP came to the forum and asked. Can you imagine all the potential
buyers that go away dissatisfied after experiencing this BS and never come back?
