It tracks incoming visitors through a dual-layer approach (server-side capture and client- side non-blocking REST beacons) to distinguish real humans from AI crawlers, search engine indexers, and automated scraping tools. Unlike standard visitor counters that treat every automated HTTP hit as a genuine person, RealTrace AI filters and segments incoming traffic into three distinct tiers:** Humans**, **AI & LLM Crawlers**, and **Search Engine Bots**. ### Bots & Crawlers Detected Out-of-the-Box RealTrace AI evaluates request patterns, URI endpoints, and User-Agent headers against extensive internal signatures: #### 1. AI & LLM Crawlers * **OpenAI:** GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot * **Anthropic:** ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, Anthropic-AI * **Google AI:** Google-Extended, Gemini, Gemini Deep Research * **Perplexity:** PerplexityBot, Perplexity-AI * **Meta:** Meta-ExternalAgent, Meta-ExternalFetcher, FacebookExternalHit * **xAI:** GrokBot, xAI-Crawler * **ByteDance:** ByteSpider * **DeepSeek:** DeepSeek Bot, DeepSeek Web Crawler * **Apple:** Applebot-Extended (Apple Intelligence) * **Mistral AI:** MistralAI Crawler * **Cohere:** Cohere-AI * **Amazon:** AmazonBot * **AI Datasets & Aggregators:** Common Crawl (CCBot), Diffbot, You.com (YouBot), DuckAssistBot, Allen AI (AI2Bot), Webz.io / Omgili, ImageSift, Timpi, Katerat, SentientMachine, Pango #### 2. Search Engine Indexers * Googlebot, Google Asset Service, Google Inspection Tool * Bingbot, Applebot, Baidu Spider, YandexBot / Yandex Engine * DuckDuckBot, Sogou Spider, Exabot, Qwantify, SeznamBot, PetalBot, CocCoc Bot * Moz DotBot, AhrefsBot, SemrushBot, Majestic MJ12bot #### 3. Social Previews & Uptime Monitors * TwitterBot / X, LinkedInBot, WhatsApp Preview, TelegramBot, Slackbot, DiscordBot, Pinterest Bot * UptimeRobot, Pingdom, Site24x7, StatusCake, Screaming Frog SEO Spider, Seltz Sitemap Fetcher #### 4. Developer Tools & Headless Scrapers * Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, Headless Chrome, PhantomJS, Cypress * Python (Requests, urllib, aiohttp), Scrapy Framework * cURL, Wget, HTTPie, Postman Runtime, Insomnia * Node.js (Axios, Fetch, Got), Go HTTP, Java HTTP Client, Apache HttpClient, OkHttp, Guzzle PHP, Perl libwww, WinHTTP #### 5. Automated Endpoint Scrapers * Flags unauthenticated direct automated scrapes targeting sensitive or automated endpoints like `/wp-json/oembed/`, `/.well-known/`, `/feed`, `/rss`, `/wp-cron. php`, `/xmlrpc.php`, and `/wp-comments-post.php`. ### Included Shortcodes * `[realtrace_smart_counter]` – Displays a complete visitor card showing total humans, bots, and the verified Human Score percentage. * `[realtrace_traffic_battle]` – Displays an interactive split progress bar comparing human visitors against AI scrapers. * `[realtrace_human_counter]` – Outputs the raw formatted count of verified human visitors. * `[realtrace_ai_counter]` – Outputs the raw formatted count of detected bots and AI scrapers. ## Screenshots [⌊RealTrace AI analytics dashboard displaying real-time traffic KPI cards (Total Hits, Human Users, AI Scrapers, Search Engine Bots) alongside the complete visitor logs table.⌉⌊RealTrace AI analytics dashboard displaying real-time traffic KPI cards( Total Hits, Human Users, AI Scrapers, Search Engine Bots) alongside the complete visitor logs table.⌉[ RealTrace AI analytics dashboard displaying real-time traffic KPI cards (Total Hits, Human Users, AI Scrapers, Search Engine Bots) alongside the complete visitor logs table.

Upload the `realtrace-traffic-counter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or install it via the WordPress Plugin search. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Ensure the MaxMind reader library is located in `includes/Geo/MaxMind/`. 4. Go to **RealTrace AI > Settings** and click **Download / Update Geo Database** to stream and verify the offline binary database (`.mmdb`). 5. Use the shortcodes in posts, page templates, block editors, or widget areas. ## የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች ### Does RealTrace AI send visitor IP addresses to external lookup APIs? No. RealTrace AI resolves countries using an offline MaxMind binary database stored locally in your `wp-content/uploads/realtrace/` folder. Visitor IPs are processed entirely on your server. ### What happens if the Geo database is missing or corrupt? RealTrace AI includes built-in verification. If the `.mmdb` file is missing or interrupted during transfer, the plugin falls back to its multi-octet subnet router, purges any broken files, and presents a one-click download button in the admin interface. ### Can I add custom bot signatures? Yes. In **RealTrace AI > Settings**, enter custom substrings under **Custom Bot Signatures** (one signature per line). Any User-Agent matching that text will be classified as an AI bot. ### Does tracking slow down page requests? No. Geolocation queries run against an optimized local binary search tree in microseconds, and a built-in visit debounce window prevents repeat hits from the same IP from inflating database load. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RealTrace AI – Real Human and AI Traffic Counter” is open source software.
