Title: Crawler Record Author: dizzysoft Published: septembre 16, 2025 Last modified: janvier 7, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/crawler-record/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3362637) ![](https://ps.w.org/crawler-record/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3362637) # Crawler Record By [dizzysoft](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dizzysoft/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/crawler-record.0.9.1.zip) * [Details](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/crawler-record/#description) * [Reviews](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/crawler-record/#reviews) * [Installation](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/crawler-record/#installation) * [Development](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/crawler-record/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/crawler-record/) ## Description **Crawler Record** logs the last time specific user agents (for search and AI chat/ LLMs) accessed your content including: * Google * Bing * ChatGPT (OpenAI) * Claude (Anthropic) * Perplexity * DuckDuckGo * Meta * Apple You can view this information: * **Admin page**: a grouped list of all crawlers, with last seen time, last page, and robots status for the crawler. * **Admin Bar (front-end)**: quick-glance status for the current singular or URL context (no dropdowns in wp-admin). * **Per Page/Post**: From the edit screen on any page or post, you can see that last time each crawler visited that page. **Robots-aware:** The plugin checks your **robots.txt** and evaluates **Allow/Disallow** rules for a given path. If **Settings Reading “Discourage search engines”** is enabled, all agents are shown as blocked with a prominent warning. **Performance-friendly by design:** Write-throttling (default 10 minutes) and an auxiliary “last post ID per agent” record avoids heavy admin queries on large sites. **Privacy-friendly:** Saves only bot visit timestamps and last URLs crawled — no personal data. Learn [**how to use this plugin**](https://www.dizzysoft.com/crawler-record-plugin-for-wordpress/). #### Highlights * Supports common user-agent variants for Google, Bing, OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic( Claude), Perplexity, Meta, Apple, and DuckDuckGo. * Robots status computed from local robots.txt (physical or virtual) without outbound requests. * Clear UI with grouped sections, microsecond timestamps, and a small diagnostics toggle showing the matched robots group and rule. #### Known limitations * robots.txt **wildcards** (`*`) and end-of-line marker (`$`) are **not** interpreted; matching is prefix-based only. Future versions may add full spec support. ### Privacy This plugin stores: – **Timestamps** of crawler visits (float, with microseconds)–** Last URL** seen per crawler (per-URL records) – **Last post ID** per crawler (for admin performance) It does **not** collect or store personal data about site visitors. No data is transmitted to third parties. ### License GPLv2 or later. See LICENSE file. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via the admin Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Visit **Crawler Record** under **Admin Crawler Record** to review crawler activity. ## FAQ ### Why are there no crawler visits recorded? This plugin can only begin to track crawler/bot visits from the time you have installed the plugun- not before. It may take several days or weeks (depending upon the popularity of your website) before any come for a visit. ### Why do I see “Blocked by WordPress setting”? If **Settings Reading Discourage search engines** is enabled, so none of these systems are allowed to read the pages on your site. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5468068da473b01ae2eef7026d1206415dc052db5a31a9cd841ab1a1a9222b8c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – Easy to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-easy-to-use-355/)󠁿 [triciaclements](https://profiles.wordpress.org/triciaclements/) janvier 22, 2026 Great plugin, does exactly what it says it will do and the developer is active and answers questions. I was concerned that LLM bots were being blocked from my site and this plugin shows they aren’t (or if any are being blocked) and also lets me know when specific bots visited my site and what page they visited.
