https:\/\/telemetry.pingaura.ai\/v1\/events<\/code> with your ingest key.<\/p>\n\nContact clicks (optional, off until you save a browser key).<\/strong> The visitor's browser loads a script from https:\/\/telemetry.pingaura.ai\/t.js<\/code>. When the visitor clicks a phone, email or WhatsApp link, the browser sends to https:\/\/telemetry.pingaura.ai\/v1\/browser<\/code>: that a click happened and its type (phone, email or WhatsApp), the page URL without its query string, the site or AI assistant that brought the visitor (the referring site's address and the utm_source tag), and your browser key and domain. The phone number, email address and message are not sent. As with any web request, PingAura's server also receives the visitor's IP address and user agent. The script sets no cookies; it stores the landing source in the visitor's browser (local storage) for 30 minutes so a click on a later page is credited to it. The same modes apply: nothing in Off mode, only browsers with test visits turned on in Test mode, and visitors who are not logged in in Live mode.<\/p>\n\nIndexNow (optional, off by default).<\/strong> When you turn on IndexNow, the plugin sends the addresses of published pages, your site's host name and an IndexNow key to https:\/\/api.indexnow.org\/indexnow<\/code>, which shares them with participating search engines such as Bing, Yandex, Naver and Seznam. This happens when a page is published or updated, and when you click \"Submit all published pages\". No visitor data is sent. The key is generated by the plugin and served at \/{key}.txt<\/code> on your site so search engines can verify it. IndexNow terms: https:\/\/www.indexnow.org\/terms<\/p>\n\nYou are responsible for having a lawful basis, or your visitors' consent where it is required, to send this data. The plugin adds suggested text to Settings \u2192 Privacy, and the pingaura_telemetry_should_track<\/code> filter lets a consent tool turn tracking off for a visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n- Terms of service: https:\/\/www.pingaura.ai\/terms-of-service<\/li>\n
- Privacy policy: https:\/\/www.pingaura.ai\/privacy-policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
- In PingAura, create an ingest key under Settings \u2192 API keys.<\/li>\n
- In WordPress, open Settings \u2192 PingAura Telemetry, paste the key and save. Check that Domain matches the domain registered in PingAura.<\/li>\n
- Click \"Send a ChatGPT visit\". A reply starting with 202 means the connection works.<\/li>\n
- Switch Mode to Live and save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

\nDoes it slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt does not delay page rendering. The script is a few hundred bytes, runs after the page has loaded, and sends one small background request to your own site, which answers straight away and forwards the visit afterwards. Each tracked visit is one extra, uncached request to WordPress, similar to other self-hosted analytics plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with page caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Visits are recorded by the script, so cached pages are counted. Saving the settings clears LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket and WP Super Cache so the script appears straight away. Other caches may need clearing by hand.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why are AI crawler requests not showing up?<\/h3><\/dt>\nA page cache usually answers crawler requests before WordPress runs. Add the crawler user agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and others) to your cache plugin's list of user agents that are never cached, and turn on AI crawler reporting.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I keep the ingest key out of the database?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Add define( 'PINGAURA_TELEMETRY_KEY', 'pa_...' );<\/code> to wp-config.php. It takes precedence over the key saved on the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\nMy site is behind Cloudflare. Are countries correct?<\/h3><\/dt>\nBehind a CDN, WordPress sees the CDN's address unless your server restores the visitor's. If countries look wrong, read the CDN's header with the pingaura_telemetry_client_ip<\/code> filter. See the plugin's README for an example.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan visit data be faked?<\/h3><\/dt>\nLike any analytics that relies on the visitor's browser, anyone can send fake visits to your site. PingAura limits how many events a workspace can send, and the plugin ignores requests from other sites and malformed data.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What does IndexNow do?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIndexNow is an open protocol for telling search engines a page has changed. With it turned on, Bing and other participating search engines hear about a new or updated page within seconds instead of waiting to recrawl. Click \"Submit all published pages\" once after turning it on to send your existing pages. It works without a PingAura account. Google does not support IndexNow; for Google, submit your sitemap in Search Console.<\/p>\n\n
Right after you turn it on, the first submission can be refused with 403 while the search engine verifies the key file. Wait a few minutes and click the button again.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What does contact-click tracking record?<\/h3><\/dt>\nOnly that a click on a phone, email or WhatsApp link happened, on which page, and which AI assistant or other source brought the visitor. It does not record the phone number, email address or message. It sets no cookies. It stores the landing source in the visitor's browser for 30 minutes, so a click a few pages later is still credited to the AI assistant that sent the visitor.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it set cookies?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot for visitors. An administrator who turns on test visits gets a cookie in their own browser for 24 hours.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What does the reply on the settings page mean?<\/h3><\/dt>\n202 means PingAura accepted the event. 401 means the key is wrong or revoked. 403 means the domain is not registered on the key's account, or PingAura Telemetry is not enabled for it.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
