What's inside
Crawler activity by name
See which detected AI crawlers request your pages and how often they visit.
- Named crawler and provider breakdowns, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot.
- Daily visit counts to identify changes in activity.
- Compare activity across the websites connected to your workspace.
The pages crawlers visit
Review which parts of your site receive detected crawler requests.
- Pages ranked by crawler visit count.
- Page-level evidence to inspect individual requests.
- Check new pages for detected visits without treating a request as proof of indexing or use in an answer.
Visits referred by AI assistants
Measure incoming visits attributed to AI sources separately from crawler activity.
- Referral counts by assistant and landing page.
- Trends over time alongside crawler activity.
- Use your wider analytics to assess what referred visitors do next.
Browser and server-side tracking
Choose the collection method for your site and the activity you need to measure.
- A browser snippet for browser activity and assistant referrals.
- Server-side tracking for requests from crawlers that do not run JavaScript.
- WordPress plugin, Vercel Log Drain, Bunny CDN forwarding or an HTML snippet, with setup guides for each.

Questions and answers
What is an AI crawler?
An AI crawler is an automated system that requests web pages. Cleotic identifies detected crawler requests separately from visitor referrals. A request does not establish that a page was indexed, used for training or included in an answer.
Will tracking slow my site down?
The browser snippet loads without blocking the page. Server-side connections collect request data without adding browser code for crawler tracking. Follow the setup instructions for your platform and check performance after installation.
Do I need a developer to connect my site?
It depends on your platform and access. If you can add a tracking snippet, you can set up browser collection. Server-side connections and sites with managed deployment processes may need a developer. The documentation covers the supported methods.
Why do these numbers differ from my analytics tool?
The tools may collect and classify different events. Many analytics tools exclude bots, while Cleotic reports detected crawler requests separately. Referral attribution also depends on the information available with a visit, so compare equivalent traffic types and date ranges.
Should I block AI crawlers?
That depends on your content and business priorities. Review each crawler's purpose and your access policies before changing them. The traffic data shows detected requests; blocking or allowing a crawler does not by itself guarantee exclusion from AI systems or inclusion in their answers.
Which plans include AI traffic tracking?
Every paid plan includes it. Starter supports one website, Business three, Enterprise ten, and Custom unlimited websites. CSV export starts on Business.
