AI crawlers
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and 25+ more. They don’t run JavaScript, so a script tag never sees them. A tiny server snippet reports each crawler request with its page and status code.

See how AI actually uses your site
GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read your pages every day. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini send people to them. Google Analytics shows almost none of it. The BotReady tracker shows all of it, page by page.

Two kinds of AI traffic, measured separately
AI crawlers and people coming from AI answers behave differently, so the tracker catches them in two different places.
Visitors from AI assistants
People who click a link in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude or DeepSeek. The script tag spots them by referrer and utm_source and records the page they land on.

Paste the code
Put the script tag before </head> and add the server snippet for your stack: WordPress, PHP, Node.js, Next.js or a Cloudflare Worker. The Cloudflare Worker and WordPress snippets add the tag for you, so one paste covers both.

Private by design
- No cookies and no personal data. Nothing to add to your cookie banner.
- The script sends an event only for visits from AI assistants, plus a 5% sample of other pageviews to calculate the AI share.
- Crawler IPs are used only to check them against official ranges. They are never stored.
- We keep daily totals per page, not individual visits.
- The script is under 1 KB, loads with defer and never slows your pages down.
Limits by plan
| Plan | Sites | Events per month | History |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free account | 1 | 10,000 | 7 days |
| Pro | 5 | 500,000 | 365 days |
| Agency | 25 | 3,000,000 | 365 days |
An event is one AI crawler request or one AI visitor. Sampled pageviews count as one event each. When the monthly limit is reached, new events pause until the 1st of next month.
Pricing →Questions about the AI tracker
Why can’t Google Analytics show AI crawlers?
Analytics tools run in the browser. AI crawlers fetch the HTML and never execute JavaScript, so they are invisible to any script-based analytics. Only the server sees them, which is why the tracker has a server snippet.
Do I need both the tag and the server snippet?
No. Each works on its own. The tag counts visitors from AI assistants. The server snippet counts AI crawlers. Install both to see the full picture and the Crawled → visited report. The Cloudflare Worker and WordPress snippets do both in one paste.
Does it slow down my site?
No. The script loads with defer and is under 1 KB. The server snippets send the event after the response is finished or in the background, so the page is never delayed.
How do you spot fake AI bots?
Many scrapers pretend to be GPTBot or ClaudeBot. For bots whose companies publish IP ranges, we compare the request IP with the official list and mark mismatches as fake.
Can I track a site I don’t own?
No. The tag only accepts events from pages on the domain you added, and the server snippet needs your secret key. You can only see data for sites where you installed the code.
Is it free?
One site with 10,000 events a month and 7 days of history is free with an account. Pro adds 5 sites, 500,000 events and a full year of history.
