AI Kansoku Lab Tracker detects visits from AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot using PHP server-side detection. Because AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript, traditional analytics tools like GA4 cannot capture these visits. This plugin solves that problem.
Features
- Server-side detection – Captures AI crawlers that do not run JavaScript
- 14 crawler patterns – GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, ByteSpider, Meta-ExternalAgent, Google-Extended, Grok, AppleBot, DeepSeek, and more
- Explicit opt-in – External tracking only activates when you enable it via checkbox
- Zero performance impact – Uses non-blocking POST requests (blocking: false)
- Simple setup – Just paste your Site ID, enable tracking, and save
- WordPress standards – Uses wp_remote_post, register_setting, nonce verification, and proper escaping throughout
- Front-end only – Does not fire on admin, cron, AJAX, or REST API requests
How It Works
When a front-end page is requested, the plugin checks the User-Agent string against known AI crawler patterns. If a match is found — and you have explicitly enabled external tracking — it sends an asynchronous POST request to the AI Kansoku Lab API to log the visit. The site visitor experiences no delay.
External Service
This plugin connects to an external API: AI Kansoku Lab (https://www.ai-kansoku.com).
External tracking is opt-in only. Data is only transmitted after you explicitly enable it in the settings page.
When an AI crawler is detected, the following metadata is sent:
* User-Agent string of the detected AI crawler
* URL path of the visited page
* Your Site ID (configured in plugin settings)
This plugin does not intentionally collect cookies, account credentials, or form contents.

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
-
Where do I find my Site ID?
-
Log in to AI Kansoku Lab (https://www.ai-kansoku.com), register your site, and copy the Site ID shown in the Tracking Code section of your dashboard.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin uses
wp_remote_postwithblocking: false, so the HTTP request is fired asynchronously and does not delay page rendering. -
Does it run on every request?
-
No. The plugin only fires on front-end page requests when both a Site ID is set and external tracking is explicitly enabled. Admin pages, AJAX calls, REST API requests, and WP-Cron jobs are excluded.
-
Can it detect crawlers that do not run JavaScript?
-
Yes. That is the main purpose of this plugin. GA4 and other JavaScript-based tools miss AI crawlers entirely. This plugin detects them at the PHP level using the HTTP_USER_AGENT server variable.
-
Which AI crawlers are supported?
-
GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Anthropic-AI, ByteSpider, Meta-ExternalAgent, Google-Extended, Grok, xAI, AppleBot, DeepSeek, CopilotBot, PerplexityBot.
-
What happens when I uninstall the plugin?
-
All plugin settings stored in the WordPress database are removed automatically on uninstall.
