Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CrawlWatch – AI Bot Insights

No. Everything is stored locally in one table (wp_crawlwatch_logs). IPs are SHA-256 hashed (IPv4 last octet and IPv6 /64 anonymized first). No third-party calls — the only HTTP requests CrawlWatch ever makes are loopback fetches of your own posts for the on-demand schema scan.

No. Normal human visits do zero extra queries. Only detected AI hits do one dedupe check plus one insert. No CSS/JS on the frontend.

Default 30 days (7/14/30/90/180 selectable). Daily WP-Cron auto-deletes older rows.

Yes. It only detects whether an SEO plugin is active (for the schema part of the score). No integration needed.

Blocking AI training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) does not affect Google search. Never block regular Googlebot — CrawlWatch only manages AI bots, and Google-Extended asks for confirmation first.

Tracking runs in PHP. Full-page caches (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare APO) serve cached pages without running PHP, so those visits are never logged. CrawlWatch shows a notice on its own pages when a known cache is active.

Add a Disallow rule for GPTBot in robots.txt — CrawlWatch writes it for you with preview. That keeps your content out of OpenAI training data. It does not remove anything already trained on.

No — that is a different bot. GPTBot governs training; OAI-SearchBot governs ChatGPT Search citability. Blocking GPTBot hides you from training while leaving you citable. The same split exists at Anthropic (ClaudeBot vs Claude-SearchBot). Google-Extended only affects Gemini training, never AI Overviews.

At the domain root (yoursite.com/llms.txt). CrawlWatch generates and serves it with no file writes. Anything deeper and most consumers never look.

Some read it, some do not — adoption is limited and Google does not use it for search. It costs nothing to have, and it makes the assistants that do read it describe you accurately.
