Each time a page is requested I get the referrer of the page it came from. I need to track just referrer from other sites, I don't want to track going from one page to another within my site. How can I do that?

To check the Referer in action go to Inspect Element -> Network check the request header for Referer like below. Referer header is highlighted. Supported Browsers: The browsers are compatible with HTTP header Referer are listed below: Google Chrome.
The Referer header is set by your browser and sent to the server when you request a page. The value of this header is the URL of the previous page that linked to the newly requested page. It is where you came from, essentially.
There is a global variable available in PHP which contains the referral URL. The $_SERVER global variable has the element “HTTP_REFERER” that will return the referer URL. $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is the element or code that returns the complete URL of the web page from where the current page was called.
The address of the webpage where a person clicked a link that sent them to your page. The referrer is the webpage that sends visitors to your site using a link. In other words, it's the webpage that a person was on right before they landed on your page.
document.referrer.indexOf(location.protocol + "//" + location.host) === 0;
