AI crawler intelligence
Triple-layer detection for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and every AI crawler visiting your site.
Why It Matters
AI is reading your content — do you know which pages?
AI companies regularly crawl websites to train and update their models. Eurolytics is the only analytics platform that gives you a dedicated dashboard for this traffic. See which bots visit, which pages they prioritize, and how crawling patterns change over time. This is critical for publishers, content creators, and anyone whose work feeds AI systems.
Detection
Three independent methods catch every crawler
Most analytics tools only see JavaScript-executing browsers. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript — they fetch HTML, follow links, and download images. Eurolytics uses three independent detection layers so nothing slips through.
JavaScript Tracker
1.2KB async script in your <head>. Catches all real browsers and the rare bots that execute JavaScript.
Tracking Pixel
Hidden inside <noscript>. Only fetched by bots that load images but skip JavaScript — like most AI crawlers.
Honeypot Link
Invisible link that only aggressive crawlers follow. Humans and well-behaved bots never see it.
Coverage
15+ AI crawlers and counting
New patterns are added automatically as new crawlers appear. Each bot gets its own activity feed, crawl frequency chart, and most-visited pages breakdown.

Dashboard
A dedicated view for AI traffic
The AI Visitors dashboard is a separate section in Eurolytics, purpose-built for understanding crawler behavior. It includes:
- •Overview — total AI crawl events, unique bots, and trend charts over your selected date range
- •Bot breakdown — per-bot activity with individual detail pages showing crawl frequency and top pages
- •Most crawled pages — which content AI bots prioritize, ranked by crawl count
- •Coverage analysis — how much of your site AI crawlers have reached vs. what they're missing
- •Health metrics — crawl frequency trends and detection method effectiveness
Common questions
What is AI crawler tracking?
AI crawler tracking is our unique differentiator. We detect and visualize when AI bots like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot visit your content. You can see which pages AI crawlers access, traffic trends, and identify high-value content being ingested by AI models. This is critical for content creators and publishers.
Which AI crawlers are tracked?
We track 15+ AI crawlers and bots including: OpenAI GPTBot, Anthropic ClaudeBot, Perplexity PerplexityBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), Bing bot, Baiduspider, and many others. New patterns are added automatically, and you can report missing crawlers via our dashboard.
How do you detect AI crawlers?
We use three methods: (1) User-Agent matching, crawlers announce themselves in the User-Agent header, (2) Pixel tracking, we place a tracking pixel that only non-JS clients (like crawlers) fetch, and (3) Honeypot links, hidden links that aggressive crawlers follow. This triple-layer approach catches crawlers that other analytics miss.
Can I opt out of AI crawler tracking?
We don't provide an opt-out mechanism because AI crawler tracking is part of our differentiator and privacy story. However, if you want to block AI crawlers entirely from your site, you can use robots.txt or add User-Agent blocking rules in your server config. Eurolytics will then show them as blocked.
Do I need to setup goals and funnels?
No. Eurolytics is designed for simplicity, you get instant insights on traffic sources, top pages, and visitor behavior without complex setup. Goals and funnels are optional for teams that want conversion tracking. Most users get actionable insights from the dashboard right away, no configuration needed.
