AI agents are visiting your website hundreds of times a month. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. They are reading your pages, evaluating your content, and deciding whether to recommend you to their users. Can you see any of it?\nNow you can.<\/strong>\nBased on analysis of 640,000+ AI agent crawls across B2B websites, AI agent traffic is one of the fastest-growing \u2014 and most invisible \u2014 sources of website activity. This plugin gives you complete visibility, plus the tools to act on what you find.\nAI Search Analytics<\/strong>\nMonitor how often AI tools access and cite your content over time \u2014 like Google Analytics, but for AI agent traffic. See trends by day, week, and month across all major AI platforms.\nAgent Identification & Analysis<\/strong>\nIdentify exactly which AI agents are scanning your site: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Understand their behavior patterns and which content draws the most visits.\nPage Performance Intelligence<\/strong>\nSee exactly which pages ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents actually read when answering questions. This is the foundation of effective Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).\nAEO Content Gap Detection<\/strong>\nDiscover what critical information is missing from your most-accessed pages. Know what to add so AI agents can confidently recommend your site when users ask relevant questions.\nWhat Makes This Different: The Optimization Layer<\/strong>\nMost AI analytics plugins stop at tracking. This one also lets you optimize what AI agents see.\nServe LLM-optimized versions of your pages \u2014 restructured with structured Q&A, comparison data, and testimonial cues \u2014 so ChatGPT and Claude get your complete story, not just whatever text they happen to parse. Analytics + action, not just a dashboard.\nThis is the only WordPress plugin that tracks AI agent visits AND optimizes what they see.<\/p>\n\n

Cache Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin includes built-in support for bypassing cache on AI bot requests for:\n* WP Engine<\/strong> - via wpe_is_cacheable<\/code> filter\n* WP Rocket<\/strong> - via do_rocket_generate_caching_files<\/code> filter\n* LiteSpeed Cache<\/strong> - via litespeed_can_cache<\/code> filter and LSCACHE_NO_CACHE<\/code> constant\n* W3 Total Cache<\/strong> - via w3tc_can_cache<\/code> filter\n* WP Super Cache<\/strong> - via wp_super_cache_late_init<\/code> filter\n* SiteGround Optimizer<\/strong> - via sg_optimizer_cache_is_enabled<\/code> filter\n* Kinsta<\/strong> - via cache-control headers\n* Cloudflare APO<\/strong> - via cookie-based bypass\nServer-Level Caching (Nginx, Varnish, CDN)<\/strong>\nIf you use server-level caching that runs BEFORE PHP\/WordPress, you may need additional configuration:\nFor Nginx FastCGI Cache<\/strong>, add to your server config:<\/p>\n\n

if ($http_user_agent ~* \"(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)\") {\n    set $skip_cache 1;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
For Varnish<\/strong>, add to your VCL:<\/p>\n\n
if (req.http.User-Agent ~ \"(?i)(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)\") {\n    return (pass);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
For Cloudflare<\/strong> (non-APO), create a Cache Rule:\n- When: User Agent contains \"ChatGPT\" or \"GPTBot\" or \"ClaudeBot\" or \"PerplexityBot\"<\/code>\n- Then: Bypass cache\nThe plugin sends X-Salespeak-AI-Bot: 1<\/code> header for AI bot requests to help with debugging.<\/p>\n\n
Safety & Performance<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin is designed to have ZERO impact on normal visitors<\/strong>:\n* All cache bypass logic only executes when the User-Agent matches a known AI bot pattern\n* For non-AI requests, all filter callbacks immediately return the original value (pass-through)\n* No headers, cookies, or constants are set for normal visitor requests\n* AI bot detection is cached per-request to avoid repeated regex checks\n* The plugin only modifies behavior for an explicit list of known AI bot User-Agent strings:\n  * ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web, ClaudeBot\n  * PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, bingpreview, OpenAI\n  * Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai<\/p>\n\n

Privacy and Data Handling<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin only sends data when AI agents are detected visiting your website. No personal user data is collected or transmitted. All data is used solely for analytics and content optimization purposes. The plugin respects user privacy and does not track individual human visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/salespeak-llm-optimizer<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Connect your Salespeak account using your Organization ID (available in your Salespeak dashboard).<\/li>\n

    \n
    Which AI agents does this plugin detect?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    The plugin detects all major AI agents including ChatGPT-User, GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai, bingpreview, and more. New agents are added with each update.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    Does this plugin slow down my website for regular visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    No. The plugin has zero impact on normal human visitors. All detection and optimization logic only activates when a known AI agent User-Agent is identified. Every other request passes through untouched.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    What is LLM content optimization?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    When an AI agent visits your site, instead of serving your standard page, the plugin can serve an AI-optimized version: restructured with Q&A, comparison data, testimonials, and structured information that AI models can parse and use more effectively when answering user questions.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    AEO is the practice of optimizing your content so AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude recommend your site when users ask relevant questions. This plugin gives you the analytics to measure your AEO performance and the tools to improve it.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    Do I need a Salespeak account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    Yes, a Salespeak account is required to use the analytics and optimization features. Visit salespeak.ai to create an account.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
