How AI Crawler Guard works
AI Crawler Guard detects popular AI-focused crawlers and lets you block or allow them from scraping your WordPress site. Everything runs locally—rules, decisions, logs, and history stay on your server.
Built-in signatures for common AI bots, plus optional custom patterns
Global and per-crawler allow/block controls
Local crawler registry with first/last seen timestamps and hit counters
Lightweight logs with optional retention cap
No external calls or remote storage
Requirements
WordPress 5.8 or newer
PHP 7.4+
Works with Classic Editor, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, and major managed hosts
Respects wp-admin, wp-login, REST API, cron, and CLI contexts automatically
Performance
Detection runs once per front-end request (small O(n) UA scan)
No blocking of social preview bots (Facebook, Meta, Twitter, LinkedIn) by default
Assets load only on plugin admin pages and stay under 10 KB
Logs stay capped by your configured limit with auto-pruning
Privacy All detection logic and data storage live entirely inside WordPress. No data is sent to third-party services in v1.
