Accurate Bot Identification

Rutt identifies 15+ distinct AI crawlers by analyzing user-agent strings against our continuously updated database. We distinguish between training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot), search indexing bots (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot), and user-triggered fetches (ChatGPT-User, Claude-Web) so you know exactly why each bot is visiting.

Crawler Type Breakdown

Not all AI bot visits are the same. Training crawlers collect data for model updates. Search indexing bots build knowledge bases for AI-powered search. User-triggered fetches happen when someone asks ChatGPT to visit a URL in conversation. Our breakdown shows you the mix of each type so you can make targeted access decisions.

GPTBot 38%
ClaudeBot 22%
PerplexityBot 18%
Others 22%

One-Line Installation

Add a single script tag to your site and tracking begins immediately. The snippet weighs under 1KB compressed, loads asynchronously so it never blocks page rendering, and uses the Beacon API to transmit data without affecting your site's performance metrics or Core Web Vitals scores.

HTML
<script
  src="https://cdn.aimonitor.dev/v1/tracker.js"
  data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  async
></script>

Paste this snippet before the closing </head> tag. Under 1KB, async loading, zero render blocking.

The Problem

AI Crawlers Are Visiting Your Site Right Now

Every day, AI companies send automated crawlers to your website. Without monitoring, you are making critical decisions about your content and infrastructure without knowing who is consuming what.

Your content is being used for AI training without your knowledge

GPTBot and ClaudeBot crawl websites to collect data for model training and fine-tuning. These crawlers can visit hundreds of your pages in a single day, extracting text that becomes part of the training data for the next version of ChatGPT or Claude. Without visibility into this activity, you cannot make informed decisions about what content to make available or restrict.

AI traffic can consume significant server resources

Some websites see 20% to 40% of their total HTTP requests coming from AI bots alone. These crawlers do not render JavaScript or load images, so they do not show up in traditional analytics, but they still consume bandwidth and server resources. High-frequency crawling can even degrade performance for real visitors during peak traffic.

You cannot control what you cannot see

Decisions about robots.txt rules, rate limiting, and content access policies require data. Should you block GPTBot from your pricing page? Should you rate limit ClaudeBot to reduce server load? Should you allow PerplexityBot full access because it drives referral traffic? Without crawler analytics, these decisions are just guesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our JavaScript snippet (under 1KB compressed) loads asynchronously after your page renders. On each page view, it analyzes the visitor's user-agent string against our database of known AI crawlers, search bots, and common bot patterns. It then sends a lightweight beacon to our API with the page URL, visitor classification, and timestamp. The entire process happens in milliseconds with zero impact on page load or rendering.
