OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker

Descripción

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

1. Visit Tools → AI Bot Tracker.
2. Leave it running and check back whenever you want.
3. 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"
