Nothing to configure: activate it and watch the bots arrive. **AI visibility (GEO).** Generative Engine Optimization starts with one question: do AI crawlers and assistants read your site? Trimardeau SEO Log answers it with dedicated stats for AI training crawlers and logs every live AI assistant visit — which assistant reads which page, in real time. **Everything is measured where you work:** * **Dashboard** — bot visits over time, trend vs the previous period, most crawled content, most active bots, HTTP status codes served to bots, hour-by-day crawl heatmap. * **Contents** — a sortable, filterable overview of every post, page, term, archive or sitemap visited by bots, with the dominant bot for each. * **Live Log** — the raw, chronological journal of every bot request (bot, URL, HTTP status). * **404 Monitor** — every broken URL that bots keep hitting, grouped and ranked, so you can fix or redirect what actually matters to crawlers. * **Per-content stats** — last crawl date, 30-day chart and per-bot counts on every post, page, custom post type and taxonomy term. **Lightweight and privacy-friendly by design:** * Human visitors are never logged — zero extra SQL query for them, no cookies, no consent banner needed. * No external requests: everything (including charts) is bundled. * Raw log retention is configurable (30 days by default, 0 = keep forever); daily aggregated statistics are kept forever and stay small. * Fully translatable — French, Spanish, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese translations are maintained on translate.wordpress.org. * Bundles [Chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/) v4.5.1 (MIT) for the charts — no CDN, loaded only on the plugin’s admin pages. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard: bot visits over time, trends, bot families and crawl heatmap.⌉⌊Dashboard: bot visits over time, trends, bot families and crawl heatmap.⌉[ Dashboard: bot visits over time, trends, bot families and crawl heatmap.

Install and activate the plugin. 2. That’s it — bot visits start being recorded immediately. Open the SEO Log menu. ## FAQ ### Does it slow my site down? No. Human visitors trigger zero extra SQL query. Bot hits are written after the response is sent, so bots don’t wait either. ### Does it work behind a cache or CDN? Bot requests that reach WordPress are logged. Pages served entirely from a full- page cache or CDN edge never reach PHP and cannot be seen by any WordPress plugin. Note that most search and AI crawlers frequently bypass caches. ### Is it GDPR compliant? Human visitors are never logged. Only requests from identified bots are stored, and you can delete everything on uninstall. ### What is the difference between AI training crawlers and AI assistants? Training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot…) collect content to train models. AI assistants (ChatGPT-User, Perplexity-User…) fetch your pages live while answering a user — meaning your content is being read and cited in real time. Both are fully logged, URLs included. ### How long is the data kept? Raw request logs: 30 days by default, configurable in the settings (0 = keep forever). Daily aggregated statistics: forever — they are tiny. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Trimardeau SEO Log” is open source software.
