Your WordPress analytics miss half the picture

AI bots cite your content but Google Analytics can't see it. Search crawlers visit your pages but you only notice when rankings change. Social shares happen in private chats where no analytics tool can reach. BotSights reveals it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the plugin slow down my WordPress site?

No. The plugin uses a non-blocking background request to send data. It adds zero JavaScript to your frontend and has no measurable impact on page load speed.

Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The plugin hooks into WordPress at the server level, before any caching. It works with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, and all other caching plugins.

Does it work behind Cloudflare?

Yes. The plugin automatically detects visitor IPs through Cloudflare headers. For high-traffic sites on Cloudflare, you can also use our dedicated Cloudflare Worker integration instead.

What data does the plugin collect?

The plugin sends the page URL, user agent string, and IP-related headers for each visit. Human visitor IPs are anonymized. No cookies are set and no personal data is stored on your WordPress site.

Is it free?

BotSights has a free plan that includes 5,000 visits per month and 1 project. Paid plans start at €29/month for more visits, longer data retention, and advanced features.

Can I track multiple WordPress sites?

Yes. Each WordPress site is a separate project in BotSights with its own API key. The number of projects depends on your plan.

Over half of all website traffic comes from bots and crawlers. Most WordPress analytics tools ignore it completely.
