GEO Metrics AI Traffic Monitor turns your raw server and WordPress logs into actionable intelligence about AI bot traffic. In a world where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity crawl billions of pages to power their answers, knowing whether those bots visit your site — and what they read — is a new SEO frontier.
The plugin works out of the box with zero configuration. It reads your existing <code>debug.log</code>, access logs, and PHP error logs, identifies AI crawlers by their User-Agent string, and displays a clean analytics dashboard inside your WordPress admin.
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI Bot Dashboard — KPI cards for total requests, AI bot visits, distinct bots detected, and the active date range. Visual trend chart broken down per bot per day. Donut chart of bot share.</li>
<li>Bot Details tab — per-bot breakdown with company grouping (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta…), bot type (crawler / agent / search / researcher), top pages visited, and HTTP status distribution.</li>
<li>Log Viewer tab — raw log lines with syntax highlighting, live refresh via AJAX, and per-event type/severity filtering.</li>
<li>Live Traffic capture — the plugin writes its own <code>live.log</code> (no server log access needed), capturing every frontend, REST API, and AJAX request in Combined Log Format, with automatic 5 MB rotation.</li>
<li>Date range filter — filter all dashboard data by custom date range or quick presets (Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.).</li>
<li>WP-Cron sync — automatic parsing on a configurable schedule (Hourly / Every 6 hours / Twice daily / Daily).</li>
<li>Data retention — configurable retention period (default 30 days) with automatic purge.</li>
<li>Proxy-aware IP detection — optional trust of <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> / <code>CF-Connecting-IP</code> headers for sites behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy.</li>
<li>GEO Metrics — visit <a href="https://trygeometrics.com" rel="nofollow ugc">trygeometrics.com</a> for cross-site AI traffic aggregation and visibility scoring across your entire brand.</li>

<li>PHP <code>error_log</code> (auto-detected from <code>php.ini</code>)</li>

Codersly

Codersly Visitor Tracker is a privacy-aware WordPress Visitor Tracking Plugin that helps site owners understand how visitors, pages, referrers, devices, and bots interact with their website from inside the WordPress admin area.
The plugin records visitor activity in a dedicated custom database table and displays useful visitor analytics through a dashboard and searchable visitor list.

Codersly Visitor Tracker is built for WordPress site owners, bloggers, developers, agencies, and small businesses who need lightweight visitor tracking, local visitor logs, bot detection, referrer tracking, and basic traffic insights directly in WordPress.
The plugin is free and fully functional. All included features are available immediately after activation.

What can you track?
Codersly Visitor Tracker can record key visitor analytics data such as page path, landing page, current page, referrer, referrer host, browser name, user agent, IP address, visit time, and bot-detection fields. If approximate location lookup is enabled by the site administrator, the plugin may also store approximate location fields returned by the configured GeoIP provider.
Privacy-focused local analytics
This WordPress visitor tracking plugin stores visitor data locally in your WordPress database. It does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly. Approximate location lookup is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables it.
<h3>Optional add-on information</h3>
A separate Codersly Visitor Tracker Pro add-on may be available from Codersly outside WordPress.org. That separate add-on is not included in this WordPress.org plugin package.
The free plugin may show informational add-on screens, similar to feature comparison pages, so site administrators can see which additional screens are provided by the separate add-on. These screens are informational only: they do not include disabled controls, hidden feature code, license gates, report engines, export actions, campaign tracking engines, live monitoring engines, or cleanup actions.
The separate add-on may provide additional admin screens and workflows such as advanced analytics, live visitor monitoring, campaign reports, export tools, and data cleanup tools. These add-on features are provided by a separate plugin package outside WordPress.org and are not part of this submitted free plugin.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin stores visitor data locally in the WordPress database. It may store visitor IP address, user agent, page path, referrer, browser name, approximate location fields, visit time, and bot-detection fields.
The plugin does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly.
Approximate location lookup is disabled by default. If the site administrator enables approximate location lookup, the visitor IP address may be sent in the background to an external GeoIP provider selected by the plugin/provider filter. The result is cached locally to reduce repeated requests.
Site owners are responsible for updating their privacy policy and obtaining any consent required by their local laws before enabling tracking or external location lookup.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can optionally connect to external GeoIP services to look up approximate visitor city/country from an IP address. This feature is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables approximate location lookup.
When enabled, the visitor IP address is sent to the selected GeoIP provider during a background lookup after a visit is recorded. The service returns approximate location data such as country, city, latitude and longitude when available.
Supported GeoIP providers:
<ul>
<li>ipwho.is – used for approximate IP location lookup. Terms: https://ipwhois.io/terms, Privacy Policy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy</li>
<li>ip-api.com – optional approximate IP location lookup provider. Terms: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal, Privacy Policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
<li>DB-IP – optional approximate IP location lookup provider. Terms: https://db-ip.com/tos.php, Privacy Policy: https://db-ip.com/privacy.php</li>
</ul>
