OtterFixer

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