Referenced – AI Crawler Tracking

Referenced – AI Crawler Tracking counts visits from known AI crawlers, such as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Googlebot, and posts hourly day totals to your Referenced AI account. You can then see which AI engines are reading which pages of your site.

The plugin is a reporter only. It writes nothing to your pages or content, and it records no visitor data: no IP addresses, cookies or user accounts. For each known crawler it keeps a count per bot, path and day in one small table of its own.

You need a Referenced AI account and a connection token. Until you save a token, nothing is sent anywhere.
