Description
AI Crawler Guard detects popular AI-focused crawlers and lets you block or allow them from scraping your WordPress site. Everything runs locally—rules, decisions, logs, and history stay on your server.
- Built-in signatures for common AI bots, plus optional custom patterns
- Global and per-crawler allow/block controls
- Local crawler registry with first/last seen timestamps and hit counters
- Lightweight logs with optional retention cap
- No external calls or remote storage
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8 or newer
- PHP 7.4+
- Works with Classic Editor, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, and major managed hosts
- Respects wp-admin, wp-login, REST API, cron, and CLI contexts automatically
Performance
- Detection runs once per front-end request (small O(n) UA scan)
- No blocking of social preview bots (Facebook, Meta, Twitter, LinkedIn) by default
- Assets load only on plugin admin pages and stay under 10 KB
- Logs stay capped by your configured limit with auto-pruning
Privacy
All detection logic and data storage live entirely inside WordPress. No data is sent to third-party services in v1.
Installation
- Upload
