EdgeShaping Lite Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
EdgeShaping Lite is a WordPress implementation of the EdgeShaping AI bot observation framework developed by mare interno.
This plugin answers one question:
Which AI bots are reading which pages of your site, and when?
What it does
- Detects AI bot visits using a dictionary of known AI crawlers
- Records bot name, visited URL, and timestamp
- Dashboard with bot visit frequency ranking and most AI-visited pages
- Full access log with date filter and CSV export
- AHQG Matrix — visualizes AI bot visits vs. human search clicks (requires Google Search Console integration)
What it does NOT do
- It does not block AI bots
- It does not modify your content
- It does not send data externally — all data stays in your WordPress database
Note on CDN environments
This plugin observes AI bot traffic at the PHP layer. In environments with a CDN (e.g. Cloudflare, CloudFront), cached requests may not reach PHP and will not be recorded. For full CDN-layer observation, see edgeshap.ing.
