Finally sees the GPTBot and sqlmap traffic that Plausible and GA completely miss.

Strengths
  • Captures server-side hits via 1x1 pixel, bypassing ad-blockers and JS requirements.
  • Specifically categorizes AI crawlers like ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot out of the box.
  • Real-time dashboard updates every 5 minutes with geo and device data from headers.
Weaknesses
  • WordPress-only scope limits utility for modern stacks like Next.js or Astro.
  • Blocking logic relies on a separate 'Shield' product, adding integration friction.
