The only WordPress plugin that combines inbound bot tracking (who's crawling your site) with outbound AI visibility (does ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini recommend you). Lightweight, with honeypot detection, six response strategies, and ranked fixes that prove they worked.
AI Bot Tracker catches crawlers that bypass robots.txt by using honeypot traps and behavioral analysis, not just user-agent strings.
Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google keys to check whether AI engines actually cite you. Get an AI Visibility Score, a branded vs. unbranded split, your Share-of-AI-Voice against competitors, the Sources AI Trusts in your industry, and hallucination detection that flags fabricated facts about your business.
Ranked, plain-English fixes grouped one card per issue — "23 pages missing schema markup" — each with effort and lift badges so you see quick wins at a glance. A built-in prove-loop re-checks your site after each change and shows your "Fixes that worked." Bulk mark-all-done or dismiss-all per group.
Auto-generated hidden paths that only bots follow. No legitimate user will ever see them. Customize up to 5 honeypot URLs on the Protect tier and above.
See every AI crawler hit as it happens. Full dashboard with IP, user agent, request path, timestamp, and detection method.
Set custom response strategies for specific IPs. Whitelist your own crawlers, block known bad actors, tarpit the suspicious ones.
Full sortable, filterable table of every page AI bots have visited. Filter by date range, specific bot, or URL pattern. Export to CSV.
Sub-millisecond detection overhead. No external API calls, no JavaScript injection, no impact on your visitors' experience.
Get notified about honeypot intrusions, auto-blocks, and crawl anomalies via email. Stay informed without checking the dashboard.
Tiered thresholds automatically block bots based on behavior. Unknown bots blocked on first honeypot hit, known bots after a configurable threshold, whitelisted bots never.
See where crawlers come from. Country and city for every bot visit using MaxMind GeoLite2. Identify rogue scrapers from unexpected regions.
URL-level crawl insights, velocity trends, sitemap coverage analysis, and crawl health diagnostics. Find 404 waste, redirect waste, and stale re-crawls.
Catch bots that ignore your robots.txt. Trap paths listed as Disallow are only visited by non-compliant crawlers. A second detection layer beyond honeypots.
Programmatic access to detection data. Build custom integrations, export to your analytics stack, or feed into your security pipeline.
Forward-confirmed reverse DNS validates that bots are who they claim to be. Catches spoofed user agents pretending to be Googlebot or other crawlers.
Export all your tracking data, settings, IP rules, and alerts to JSON. Import on another site or restore after a migration. Merge or replace modes.
Tracking who crawls you is half the story. The other half is whether AI engines actually mention and recommend you. AI Bot Tracker checks both — the only WordPress plugin that does.
Add your own OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google API keys in Settings. Keys are stored locally in WordPress and sent only to the providers you configure — never to Crawlantix. Off by default; nothing leaves your site until you turn it on.
A 0–100 composite combining unbranded visibility, source citation rank, and branded recognition. Run branded, unbranded, and sources checks on demand across every AI engine you've configured.
Separate "AI knows your brand" from "AI recommends you organically" — the honest metric that matters. See your Share-of-AI-Voice next to competitors AI mentions instead of you.
See which domains AI cites as authorities in your industry, and track whether your site appears in those responses at all.
Flags AI responses that contain potentially fabricated details about your business — founding dates, employee counts, revenue figures — so you can correct the record.
Monitor your AI API costs per engine over 30 days. You pay your providers directly with your own keys — no markup, no middleman.
Your crawl and visibility data turns into ranked, plain-English fixes grouped by Structure, Content, Visibility, and Authority — each one re-checked after you act on it.
Identical issues roll up into one card — "23 pages missing schema markup" — sorted by priority across High, Medium, and Low bands. Each carries effort and lift badges so you can tell a quick win from a bigger project at a glance.
After you make a change, the engine re-checks your site and verifies whether it actually worked. The Recommendations tab shows your "Proven wins," and the weekly digest reports a "Top 3 to do" plus "Fixes that worked."
"Mark all done" or "Dismiss all" clears a whole group in one click, with an expandable list for individual pages. Optimize runs the engine on demand; Scale runs it automatically every week and rolls the results into your weekly digest.
