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”

Quantely Activity is a lightweight, first-party plugin for WordPress that records pageviews and events.
Quantely Activity is built to capture activity reliably under imperfect conditions through server-side recording and optional client-side signals, while supporting filtering for bots, unwanted pages, IP sources and selectable WordPress logged-in roles.
Quantely Activity can be used for:
<ul>
<li>Monitoring site behavior</li>
<li>Reviewing traffic patterns</li>
<li>Security and bot analysis</li>
<li>Feeding downstream analytics layers</li>
</ul>
Quantely Activity is turn-key: install it, and pageviews and events should begin appearing shortly after. Raw activity data is retained for a configurable short period, helping keep the plugin lightweight and privacy-conscious.
<h3>What Quantely Activity is</h3>
Quantely Activity is a capture and monitoring layer. It is designed to record activity on your site in a structured and reliable way, with a strong focus on signal capture and data integrity.
Unlike many analytics tools, it does not focus on marketing analytics, attribution modelling, or behavioral profiling. It also does not rely solely on browser JavaScript. A server-side baseline helps ensure pageviews are still captured when scripts or beacons fail.
<h3>Hybrid capture engine</h3>
The plugin combines server-side pageview capture with optional browser-side signals.
Typical flow:
Browser request 
↓ 
Server pageview baseline 
↓ 
Browser attach (Beacon) 
– engagement pings 
– interaction events 
↓ 
Correlation via pageview identifiers 
↓ 
Bot classification and exclusions 
↓ 
Deduplication and storage
This architecture helps keep capture reliable under real-world conditions where browser-only tracking can miss signals.
<h3>Event correlation and deduplication</h3>
Quantely Activity links browser-side signals back to the pageview where they occurred.
Engagement pings, clicks, form submissions, and similar events can be correlated to their originating pageview. Built-in deduplication helps avoid duplicate records when similar signals are captured from both browser and server-side sources.
This keeps the activity stream more accurate and easier to interpret.
<h3>Fully on-site</h3>
All captured activity is stored in your own WordPress database.
Quantely Activity does not send captured activity data to external services. IP addresses are never stored in plain form, and the plugin does not perform cross-site tracking.
<h3>Privacy-aware design</h3>
The plugin is designed with privacy-conscious principles in mind:
<ul>
<li>No plain IP addresses stored</li>
<li>Short configurable retention window</li>
<li>Optional honoring of GPC / DNT signals</li>
<li>No external tracking services</li>
<li>Data remains on your own site</li>
</ul>
This gives site owners visibility into activity while keeping capture local and controlled.
<h3>Hooks</h3>
Quantely Activity exposes a small developer API for integrations and downstream processing.
<ul>
<li><code>qmon_hit_before_insert</code> — Filter a normalized hit array before it is stored.</li>
<li><code>qmon_hit_recorded</code> — Action fired after a hit has been stored. This is the main integration point for forwarding or persisting captured records.</li>
<li><code>qmon_event_normalize</code> — Filter a normalized event payload before it is finalized.</li>
<li><code>qmon_event_db_dedupe_window_sec</code> — Filter the database deduplication window for events.</li>
<li><code>qmon_bot_verdict</code> — Filter the bot-classification verdict before it is finalized.</li>
</ul>
