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>
</ul>
<h4>Detected bots (40+)</h4>

<h4>Privacy</h4>
The plugin reads log files already stored on your server. It does not set cookies, collect personal data from visitors, or make any external HTTP requests. Raw log lines are never stored in the WordPress database — only aggregated counts and parsed metadata are persisted.
<h4>Source log support</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress <code>debug.log</code> (WP_DEBUG_LOG)</li>
<li>PHP <code>error_log</code> (auto-detected from <code>php.ini</code>)</li>
<li>Plugin-owned live traffic log (zero-config, works on any host)</li>
<li>Web server access log (optional path in Settings)</li>
<li>Up to 3 custom log paths</li>
</ul>

AI agents are visiting your website hundreds of times a month. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. They are reading your pages, evaluating your content, and deciding whether to recommend you to their users. Can you see any of it? 
Now you can.
See it in action:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNL1s4heBLE?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Based on analysis of 640,000+ AI agent crawls across B2B websites, AI agent traffic is one of the fastest-growing — and most invisible — sources of website activity. This plugin gives you complete visibility, plus the tools to act on what you find. 
AI Search Analytics 
Monitor how often AI tools access and cite your content over time — like Google Analytics, but for AI agent traffic. See trends by day, week, and month across all major AI platforms. 
Agent Identification & Analysis 
Identify exactly which AI agents are scanning your site: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Understand their behavior patterns and which content draws the most visits. 
Page Performance Intelligence 
See exactly which pages ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents actually read when answering questions. This is the foundation of effective Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). 
AEO Content Gap Detection 
Discover what critical information is missing from your most-accessed pages. Know what to add so AI agents can confidently recommend your site when users ask relevant questions. 
What Makes This Different: The Optimization Layer 
Most AI analytics plugins stop at tracking. This one also lets you optimize what AI agents see. 
Serve LLM-optimized versions of your pages — restructured with structured Q&A, comparison data, and testimonial cues — so ChatGPT and Claude get your complete story, not just whatever text they happen to parse. Analytics + action, not just a dashboard. 
This is the only WordPress plugin that tracks AI agent visits AND optimizes what they see.
<h3>Cache Compatibility</h3>
This plugin includes built-in support for bypassing cache on AI bot requests for: 
* WP Engine – via <code>wpe_is_cacheable</code> filter 
* WP Rocket – via <code>do_rocket_generate_caching_files</code> filter 
* LiteSpeed Cache – via <code>litespeed_can_cache</code> filter and <code>LSCACHE_NO_CACHE</code> constant 
* W3 Total Cache – via <code>w3tc_can_cache</code> filter 
* WP Super Cache – via <code>wp_super_cache_late_init</code> filter 
* SiteGround Optimizer – via <code>sg_optimizer_cache_is_enabled</code> filter 
* Kinsta – via cache-control headers 
* Cloudflare APO – via cookie-based bypass 
Server-Level Caching (Nginx, Varnish, CDN) 
If you use server-level caching that runs BEFORE PHP/WordPress, you may need additional configuration: 
For Nginx FastCGI Cache, add to your server config:
<pre><code>if ($http_user_agent ~* "(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 set $skip_cache 1;
}
</code></pre>
For Varnish, add to your VCL:
<pre><code>if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 return (pass);
}
</code></pre>
For Cloudflare (non-APO), create a Cache Rule: 
– When: <code>User Agent contains "ChatGPT" or "GPTBot" or "ClaudeBot" or "PerplexityBot"</code> 
– Then: Bypass cache 
The plugin sends <code>X-Salespeak-AI-Bot: 1</code> header for AI bot requests to help with debugging.
<h3>Safety & Performance</h3>
This plugin is designed to have ZERO impact on normal visitors: 
* All cache bypass logic only executes when the User-Agent matches a known AI bot pattern 
* For non-AI requests, all filter callbacks immediately return the original value (pass-through) 
* No headers, cookies, or constants are set for normal visitor requests 
* AI bot detection is cached per-request to avoid repeated regex checks 
* The plugin only modifies behavior for an explicit list of known AI bot User-Agent strings: 
 * ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web, ClaudeBot 
 * PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, bingpreview, OpenAI 
 * Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai
