Install AI traffic tracking on WordPress

The Foglift AI Traffic plugin records recognized AI crawler requests and AI answer referrals from WordPress. Setup takes one public workspace token. No secret API key is stored or sent.

Step 1

Download the plugin

Download the signed-off Foglift package, then keep this page open for the four WordPress steps below.

Download WordPress plugin

Version 0.1.0 · ZIP package · Requires WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.4 or newer

Step 2

Upload and activate it

In WordPress Admin, open Plugins → Add New Plugin.
Select Upload Plugin.
Choose the downloaded ZIP, select Install Now, then activate Foglift AI Traffic.

Step 3

Paste your public workspace token

In Foglift, open AI Traffic → Setup Tracker and copy the public workspace token.
In WordPress, open Settings → Foglift AI Traffic.
Paste the token and save changes. The token identifies your site but cannot access your Foglift account.

Step 4

Account for full-page caching

A page cache can answer a request before WordPress or PHP runs. Those cache-served crawler visits are not visible to this plugin. When WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, or W3 Total Cache is active, the settings page shows the same limitation.

Add nginx tracking when your host allows it

Step 5

Verify the first server-observed visit

Return to AI Traffic and keep verification open. Foglift confirms the installation only after the endpoint receives a recognized crawler request or AI answer referral from your hostname.

Open AI Traffic

Browser pixel alternative for referral clicks

If you cannot install a WordPress plugin, add the browser pixel with a header snippets plugin or your theme's Appearance → Customize script field. It records recognized AI answer referral clicks but cannot see crawler visits.

Open Plugins → Add New Plugin to install a trusted header snippets tool, or use an existing site-wide Head field.
