atec 404 Tracker


I’m using atec 404 Tracker to quickly see which 404s hit my site—broken links, common typos, and bot scans. It’s clean and fast: no custom tables; data lives in a single option with automatic cleanup, so there’s no DB bloat. For me it’s perfect for diagnostics and redirect planning. It’s intentionally short-term (not a full analytics tool), and heavy bot noise may need filtering elsewhere—but for a lightweight 404 snapshot, it does exactly what I want.

OtterFixer

<p>OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker logs front-end requests that match common AI/LLM crawler user-agents such as:<br />
– GPTBot<br />
– ChatGPT-User<br />
– ClaudeBot<br />
– PerplexityBot<br />
– Google-Extended</p>
<p>It is designed to be simple and honest:<br />
– No ads<br />
– No bloat<br />
– No tracking of real visitors</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What is stored:<br />
– UTC time<br />
– Bot name<br />
– Page path<br />
– Anonymised IP (IPv4 last octet is zeroed, IPv6 is shortened)<br />
– Full user-agent string</p>
<p>Nothing is sent anywhere. Data stays in your WordPress database.</p>
<p>Where to find it:<br />
Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Visit Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> AI Bot Tracker.</li>
<li>Leave it running and check back whenever you want.</li>
<li>When AI bots visit your site, you will see totals, a breakdown by bot, and the most recent hits.</li>
</ol>
<p>Tip: If you have zero hits, it usually just means no matching crawler has visited yet.</p>
<h3>How can I test it?</h3>
<p>You can simulate a bot hit by loading any front-end URL with a matching user-agent.</p>
<p>Example (replace YOUR-SITE-URL with your home page URL):</p>
<p>curl -A “GPTBot” “YOUR-SITE-URL”</p>
