AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
AlmaWeb AI Visitor Analytics is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Security category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by AlmaWeb — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How AlmaWeb AI Visitor Analytics works
Show full descriptionShow less
Two sides of AI traffic, one powerful plugin.
With the rise of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, your website faces two new realities:
1. AI bots scraping your content for training and indexing
2. Real human visitors discovering your site through AI tools and clicking through to visit
AlmaWeb AI Visitor Analytics is the only WordPress plugin that tracks BOTH:
AI Bot Detection
Identify bots from major AI companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Amazon), SEO crawlers (Ahrefs, Semrush), aggressive scrapers, and even “stealth” bots hiding behind standard User-Agents. Detect GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Gemini, Bytespider, Perplexity and 200+ more.
AI Referrer Tracking
Track real human visitors coming FROM AI platforms! When someone asks ChatGPT a question and clicks a link to your site, you will see it. Understand which AI tools are sending you traffic, which pages they land on, and how diverse your AI traffic sources are.
Why AlmaWeb AI Visitor Analytics? In a world where AIs massively consume AND distribute web content, it is crucial to know:
Who’s scraping your content – Precisely identify each AI bot (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Gemini, etc.)
Whether ChatGPT is training on your data – Detect OpenAI crawlers in real time and block them if needed
Which pages are being targeted – Discover what content interests AI bots the most
Hidden bots – Detect even bots that mask their identity with standard User-Agents (stealth detection)
Which AI platforms send you traffic – Track human visitors referred by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.
Key Features 🔍 Multi-Level Bot Detection
Level 1 – User-Agent: Detects 200+ AI bot signatures (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and more)
Level 2 – IP Range: Verifies official IP ranges from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to catch masked bots
Level 3 – Stealth Detection: Detects invisible bots like ChatGPT Atlas that use standard browser User-Agents by cross-referencing IP addresses

Detected Bots The plugin detects over 200 different bots in the following categories:
AI Bots (AI Training & Inference):
OpenAI (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Operator, ChatGPT Agent), Anthropic (ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, Claude-SearchBot), Google AI (Google-Extended, Gemini, NotebookLM, GoogleAgent-Mariner), Meta AI, Amazon (Amazonbot, Bedrock, Nova Act), Apple Intelligence, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI (Grok), Cohere, DeepSeek, Character.AI, Kagi, Exa, Tavily, Apify, and 150+ others.
Search Engines:
Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Baidu, etc.
SEO Crawlers:
Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, Majestic, etc.
Scrapers & Malicious Bots:
Content scrapers, email collectors, attack bots, etc.
Advanced Stealth Bot Detection Some AI bots like ChatGPT Atlas use standard browser User-Agents (Chrome, Safari) to go unnoticed. AlmaWeb AI Visitor Analytics detects them by cross-referencing IP addresses against official IP ranges from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — all stored locally, no external calls required.
Example:
A visitor with User-Agent “Mozilla/5.0 Chrome/…” from an IP in the OpenAI range will be identified as “ChatGPT Atlas” and marked with an “INVISIBLE” badge in the logs.
Firewall — Block Unwanted Bots Since v1.2.0, the plugin includes a built-in Firewall to block bots before they access your content:
Block by intention — Stop training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot), scrapers, or inference bots
Block by family — Block all bots from a specific company (ByteDance, Meta, OpenAI, etc.)
Blocked bots receive a 403 response and are still logged for analysis
Performance
Zero external calls: IP ranges for OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are stored locally
Minimal impact: Optimized to not slow down your site
