    Installed on a WordPress 6 via the plugin. Setup took ~1 minutes: upload ZIP → activate → Create account on the website. No conflicts with our theme or other plugins.

    What stood out:

    • The dashboard finally shows who is reading our pages from AI crawlers (GPTBot, Perplexity, Claude, etc.), with hour-by-hour cadence and top pages.
    • Controls are simple: allow, rate-limit or block per bot without touching search engine indexers. Our SEO stayed intact after enabling rules.
    • Performance: no noticeable latency and page cache kept working.
    • Clarity: the distinction between classic search bots and generative-AI crawlers is explicit, which reduces the risk of breaking indexing.

    Wishlist for future versions: per-section policies, webhooks/data export, and notifications on spikes. But as it is today, this plugin already solves the hardest part – visibility – and gives practical, safe controls.

    Verdict: If you rely on human traffic or advertising and want facts before taking action, this is a solid, well-built tool. Five stars.
