OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker
OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker logs front-end requests that match common AI/LLM crawler user-agents such as: — GPTBot — ChatGPT-User — ClaudeBot — PerplexityBot — Google-Extended
It is designed to be simple and honest: — No ads — No bloat — No tracking of real visitors
Important: The plugin only logs requests that match known bot user-agent patterns. If a real visitor spoofs a bot user-agent, they could be logged as well.
What is stored: — UTC time — Bot name — Page path — Anonymised IP (IPv4 last octet is zeroed, IPv6 is shortened) — Full user-agent string
Nothing is sent anywhere. Data stays in your WordPress database.
Where to find it: Tools → OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker
Usage
- Visit Tools → AI Bot Tracker.
- Leave it running and check back whenever you want.
- When AI bots visit your site, you will see totals, a breakdown by bot, and the most recent hits.
Tip: If you have zero hits, it usually just means no matching crawler has visited yet.
How can I test it?
You can simulate a bot hit by loading any front-end URL with a matching user-agent.
Example (replace YOUR-SITE-URL with your home page URL):
curl -A «GPTBot» «YOUR-SITE-URL»
