## বৰ্ণনা

**Crawler Record** shows when Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and other top bots last visited
pages on your website, so you can be confident your pages are being crawled. This
is the first step in ensuring these platforms index your website so they can serve
it to visitors. The data covers several top user-agents, including:

 * Google
 * Bing
 * ChatGPT (OpenAI)
 * Claude (Anthropic)
 * Perplexity
 * Meta
 * Apple
 * Amazon
 * DuckDuckGo
 * Common Crawl

Administrators with `manage_options` can view this information:

 * **Admin page**: a grouped list of all crawlers, with last seen time, last page,
   and robots.txt status for the crawler.
 * **Recent Pages**: From the admin page, you can select a crawler and see its latest
   visited pages, the response status WordPress observed, and a destination when
   WordPress exposes one for a retained 3xx response.
 * **Crawler Activity Overview**: Review 28-day visit totals, response-code health,
   crawler mix, a daily activity timeline, and crawler staleness. URL reports use
   up to the 50 most recent recorded visits per crawler.
 * **Crawler Status Overview**: Filter the main dashboard and crawler table by crawlers
   that visited within 28 days, have become stale, or have never visited. The unfiltered
   dashboard includes the stale-crawler age distribution alongside current activity;
   the Stale view focuses on that distribution, latest-visit details, and Recent
   Pages links instead of empty or potentially misleading historical metrics.
 * **Header Codes for User-Agents**: Did a user-agent successfully visit a page (
   2xx), receive a 3xx response, or land on a page that was missing or inaccessible(
   4xx)? Crawler Record will show you. The 3xx report includes every retained 3xx
   status, including 304 Not Modified; only responses with an observable redirect
   destination show where the request was sent.
 * **Admin Bar (front-end)**: quick-glance status for all user-agent visits.
 * **Per Page/Post**: From the edit screen on any page or post, you can see the 
   last time each crawler visited that page. Administrators can also open the main
   dashboard or an individual crawler’s Recent Pages report from this box.

**Robots-aware:** The plugin checks your **robots.txt** and evaluates Allow/Disallow
rules for a given path. WordPress’s “Discourage search engines” preference is reported
separately because it asks compliant search engines to avoid indexing.

**Response-aware:** Recent visits include the final HTTP status WordPress can observe,
including ordinary WordPress 404 pages and 3xx responses that occur after tracking
begins. The 3xx report groups all retained 3xx statuses together; 304 Not Modified
does not redirect and therefore has no destination. Other 3xx rows show a destination
only when WordPress/PHP exposes one. Responses served by a CDN, web server, static
cache, or security layer before WordPress runs cannot be recorded.

**Identification note:** Crawler identification is based on the supplied user-agent
string. User-agent strings can be spoofed, and this plugin does not verify IPs.

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, Amazon, DuckDuckGo, and Common Crawl.
 * robots.txt status computed from a local physical or WordPress virtual source 
   without outbound requests.

#### Known limitations

 * Can only track crawlers from the time the plugin is installed—it cannot reconstruct
   earlier visits.
 * Per-post “last seen” timestamp and user-agent metadata update at most once every
   10 minutes by default. Separately, rapid same-crawler, same-URL, same-status 
   visits are suppressed for 30 seconds, and a high emergency ceiling retains up
   to 50 visits per crawler per minute.
 * Concurrent requests matching the same crawler are not coordinated. One database
   write may replace another, causing a visit to be absent from recent history or
   daily totals, or causing the latest-visit fields to reflect whichever write finished
   last. Dashboard totals are therefore approximate retained activity rather than
   an exact raw access log because of throttling, retention limits, and possible
   concurrent writes.
 * Response codes are available only for requests that reach WordPress. Responses
   served earlier by a CDN, web server, static cache, or security layer are outside
   the plugin’s visibility.
 * The 3xx report includes all retained 3xx statuses, including 304 Not Modified.
   Redirect destinations are available only when WordPress/PHP exposes a Location
   header. Redirects issued before WordPress runs cannot be recorded, and a followed
   destination is retained as a separate visit if it reaches WordPress.
 * Stored source and redirect URLs include scheme, validated host, optional port,
   and path. Query strings are omitted to avoid retaining sensitive tokens, personal
   data, and high-cardinality tracking parameters. Reverse-proxy configuration can
   affect the scheme WordPress observes.
 * URLs up to 114 characters are stored normally. URLs from 115 through 1,028 characters
   retain the visit with a 100-character prefix and an excessive-length marker; 
   they are displayed with an ellipsis and are not linked. URLs longer than 1,028
   characters are omitted from URL-level reports. Sitewide tracking for such requests
   is subject to the 30-second suppression window, while applicable per-post metadata
   uses its separate 10-minute throttle.

### Privacy

This plugin stores:
 – **Timestamps** of crawler visits (float, with microseconds)–**
Exact matched crawler user-agent strings**, bounded to 512 characters – **Last URL**
and a bounded 50-visit recent history per crawler – **Final HTTP response status**
observable by WordPress for recent crawler visits – **Observable redirect destination**,
when PHP exposes one for a retained 3xx response other than 304 Not Modified – **
Last post ID** per crawler (for admin performance)

Stored source and redirect URLs omit query strings. Incoming hosts are validated
and used only for reporting; they are never used for redirects, filesystem access,
or outbound requests. Existing URL length limits apply independently to redirect
sources and destinations.

The plugin stores requests matching configured crawler patterns, but user-agent 
strings can be spoofed. It performs no IP verification and transmits no data to 
third parties.

Crawler reports, the front-end admin-bar menu, and the post/page meta box require`
manage_options`. Source URLs with hosts outside the configured WordPress home/site
hosts are displayed as non-clickable diagnostic text. Uninstall removes all current
and legacy Crawler Record options, transients, and post metadata from each site 
in a multisite network; WordPress removes the plugin files themselves.

## ইনষ্টলেশ্যন

 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.

## সঘনাই উত্থাপিত প্ৰশ্ন

### Why are there no crawler visits recorded?

This plugin can only begin tracking crawler/bot visits from the time you install
it—not before. It may take several days or weeks, depending on your website’s popularity,
before a crawler visits.

### Why do I see the indexing warning?

If **Settings  Reading  Discourage search engines** is enabled, the plugin explains
that WordPress asks compliant search engines not to index the site. This does not
prevent access, so robots.txt status is evaluated separately.

### Why doesn’t this data align with my website visitors?

You’re comparing two different things: user-agents and human visitors. This plugin
measures requests from crawler user-agents, not visits from people.

### How can I get a user-agent to visit my website?

Several factors contribute, including your website’s authority, popularity, internal
linking, and links from other trusted websites. A crawler visit does not guarantee
that a platform will add the page to its index.

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.
