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 📊 Comprehensive Dashboard Real-time statistics (human visits vs bots) Evolution charts with Chart.js Distribution by AI family (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.) Top 10 most active bots Top 10 most scraped pages Comparison with previous period Business KPIs: growth rate, peak hours, intent distribution 📋 Detailed Logs Advanced filtering by bot type, IP, date Real-time search Full CSV export Complete details: User-Agent, IP, URL, detection method, AI family, bot intent Special badge for “invisible” bots ⚙️ Flexible Configuration Enable/disable tracking Bad bot blocking option (disabled by default) Configurable data retention (90 days by default) Automatic daily cleanup of old data Exclude logged-in users (optional) 🔒 Privacy Respectful No data sent to third-party services All data stays in your WordPress database GDPR compliant No cookies or client-side tracking Only downloads public data (IP ranges) 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.

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 Optimized queries: Indexes on all important columns Automatic cleanup: Daily deletion of old data Protect your content and understand your traffic like never before.
