Frequently asked questions

Should I block AI crawlers?

It depends. Blocking training bots (like GPTBot and CCBot) does not remove you from answers, but blocking search bots (like OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot) can. The plugin shows each crawler’s purpose.

Why are some crawler hits missing?

With full-page caching or a CDN, some crawler requests never reach WordPress. Human visits from AI are still measured.

Will it slow my site down?

No. Detection is a simple user-agent match, and the measuring script is under 1 KB and only sends something when the visit comes from an AI.
