AI Site Stats shows you which AI engines crawl your website, and when. Add a site, drop in three files, and your report fills in on its own. Here's everything you need.

Install in 3 steps

  1. Add your site in your dashboard. You'll get a tracking token instantly.
  2. Download the three files (your token is already filled in): aiss_config.php, aiss_tracker.php, and .user.ini.
  3. Upload them to your website's root folder — the same folder as your homepage's index.php. That's it. AI crawls start appearing on your report within a minute.

Troubleshooting

My host ignores .user.ini

Most PHP-FPM / FastCGI hosts honor .user.ini. If yours doesn't, add one line to your .htaccess instead, using the full server path — the exact line is in a comment inside the .user.ini file we generate.

Nothing's showing up yet

AI engines crawl on their own schedule — it can take hours or days for the first visit. The report is empty until a recognized AI bot actually reads a page. That's normal.

I use Wix / Squarespace / Shopify

Those platforms don't give you file access, so the snippet can't be installed. AI Site Stats works on PHP sites — WordPress, Laravel, Joomla, Drupal, and custom PHP.

How do I uninstall?

Delete the three files (aiss_tracker.php, aiss_config.php, .user.ini) from your site's root folder. Nothing else is left behind.

What the three categories mean

Every AI crawl is sorted by why the AI came, read from its user-agent:

live intentA real person just asked an AI about you and it came to verify — the strongest buying signal (e.g. ChatGPT-User, Perplexity-User).
search indexA crawler stocking the index that AI search answers pull from — this is what lets you show up in ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, etc. (e.g. OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot).
trainingA bulk bot gathering data to train its model (e.g. GPTBot, Amazonbot).

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. AI Site Stats is a free service from viizable.

Can I track more than one site?

Yes — add each site in your dashboard. Each gets its own token and its own report, all under one account.

Do you track my human visitors?

No. The snippet only fires for recognized AI bots — it never logs your regular visitors. See our Privacy Policy.

Will it slow down or break my site?

The tracker is built fail-safe and is tiny, but it does run before your pages load. Please read the Disclaimer — you install it at your own risk, and testing on a staging copy first is smart.
