AI agents are visiting your website hundreds of times a month. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. They are reading your pages, evaluating your content, and deciding whether to recommend you to their users. Can you see any of it? Now you can. See it in action: Based on analysis of 640,000+ AI agent crawls across B2B websites, AI agent traffic is one of the fastest-growing — and most invisible — sources of website activity. This plugin gives you complete visibility, plus the tools to act on what you find. AI Search Analytics Monitor how often AI tools access and cite your content over time — like Google Analytics, but for AI agent traffic. See trends by day, week, and month across all major AI platforms. Agent Identification & Analysis Identify exactly which AI agents are scanning your site: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Understand their behavior patterns and which content draws the most visits. Page Performance Intelligence See exactly which pages ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents actually read when answering questions. This is the foundation of effective Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). AEO Content Gap Detection Discover what critical information is missing from your most-accessed pages. Know what to add so AI agents can confidently recommend your site when users ask relevant questions. What Makes This Different: The Optimization Layer Most AI analytics plugins stop at tracking. This one also lets you optimize what AI agents see. Serve LLM-optimized versions of your pages — restructured with structured Q&A, comparison data, and testimonial cues — so ChatGPT and Claude get your complete story, not just whatever text they happen to parse. Analytics + action, not just a dashboard. This is the only WordPress plugin that tracks AI agent visits AND optimizes what they see. Cache Compatibility This plugin includes built-in support for bypassing cache on AI bot requests for: * WP Engine – via wpe_is_cacheable filter * WP Rocket – via do_rocket_generate_caching_files filter * LiteSpeed Cache – via litespeed_can_cache filter and LSCACHE_NO_CACHE constant * W3 Total Cache – via w3tc_can_cache filter * WP Super Cache – via wp_super_cache_late_init filter * SiteGround Optimizer – via sg_optimizer_cache_is_enabled filter * Kinsta – via cache-control headers * Cloudflare APO – via cookie-based bypass Server-Level Caching (Nginx, Varnish, CDN) If you use server-level caching that runs BEFORE PHP/WordPress, you may need additional configuration: For Nginx FastCGI Cache, add to your server config: if ($http_user_agent ~* "(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") { set $skip_cache 1; } For Varnish, add to your VCL: if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") { return (pass); } For Cloudflare (non-APO), create a Cache Rule: – When: User Agent contains "ChatGPT" or "GPTBot" or "ClaudeBot" or "PerplexityBot" – Then: Bypass cache The plugin sends X-Salespeak-AI-Bot: 1 header for AI bot requests to help with debugging. Safety & Performance This plugin is designed to have ZERO impact on normal visitors: * All cache bypass logic only executes when the User-Agent matches a known AI bot pattern * For non-AI requests, all filter callbacks immediately return the original value (pass-through) * No headers, cookies, or constants are set for normal visitor requests * AI bot detection is cached per-request to avoid repeated regex checks * The plugin only modifies behavior for an explicit list of known AI bot User-Agent strings: * ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web, ClaudeBot * PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, bingpreview, OpenAI * Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai External Services This plugin integrates with the following external services: Salespeak Analytics API Service: Salespeak’s event tracking and analytics service Purpose: Logs AI agent visits and user interactions for analytics and optimization purposes Data Sent: When AI agents are detected, the plugin sends: – Website URL being visited – Agent type (ChatGPT, Claude, GPTBot, etc.) – Organization ID (for account association) – Request ID (for tracking) – Campaign ID (default value for organization tracking) When Data is Sent: Only when AI agents are detected visiting your website Service Provider: Salespeak (https://salespeak.ai) Terms of Service: https://salespeak.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://salespeak.ai/privacy Salespeak Content Delivery Network (CDN) Service: Amazon S3-based content delivery for serving AI-optimized content Purpose: Serves alternate, LLM-optimized content to detected AI agents Data Sent: No data is sent to this service — it only serves content based on URL requests When Data is Sent: Not applicable — this is a content delivery service only Service Provider: Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3, managed by Salespeak Terms of Service: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/ Privacy Policy: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/ Privacy and Data Handling This plugin only sends data when AI agents are detected visiting your website.
