AKSA AI Monitor records requests from supported AI crawler User-Agent strings and recognized AI referral hosts. It separates content reads from robots.txt, sitemap, API, administration, feed, HEAD, and common static-asset requests.
AKSA AI Monitor includes:
- AI requests, estimated AI sessions, content reads, and AI referrals for 24 hours or 7, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days.
- All-time request and content-read totals stored as compact daily aggregates.
- Top five content pages with WordPress titles, source agents, reads, and last activity.
- Topic trends derived from WordPress categories, tags, and titles.
- Recent activity with content and infrastructure events clearly separated.
- Open, Balanced, Protected, and Custom crawler-policy modes.
- Optional HTTP 403 enforcement. Without enforcement, blocking choices add advisory rules to WordPress virtual robots.txt.
- Optional public or administrator-only AI Signal corner widget.
- Activity status based only on content reads: active within 7 days, recent within 30 days, or no recent activity.
- Privacy-friendly local storage. Raw IP addresses are not stored.
- Configurable detailed-data retention, permanent reset controls, and CSV exports for periods up to 365 days.
The plugin does not use an AI API and does not send activity data to the plugin author or an external analytics service. Report availability depends on the configured detailed-data retention period. New installations retain detailed activity for 180 days by default, and administrators can choose between 7 and 365 days.
Measurement limits
Crawler identity is currently detected from the request User-Agent header. User-Agent strings can be imitated, so the plugin labels identity as detected and unverified. A detected request is not proof that an AI provider cited, recommended, approved, endorsed, or rated the website or its content.
AI sessions are estimates. Requests from the same detected agent and privacy-safe fingerprint within a 30-minute time bucket are grouped together.
