RankSage reads from · RankSage Connect plugin

WordPress, with AI crawlers counted.

RankSage Connect does two things, each switchable on its own: it adds the on-site tracking tag to your pages, and it records every AI-crawler fetch server-side — the visits no browser analytics tool can see — and reports them to your RankSage account. It can also publish agents.md and llms.txt for you.

How RankSage works

What it provides

What WordPress gives RankSage.

The on-site tracking tag, served from your own domain, without editing a theme.

Server-side records of AI-crawler visits — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot and similar — that JavaScript analytics cannot see.

Optional publishing of agents.md and llms.txt from the plugin settings.

Setup

How to connect.

Install RankSage Connect

Upload the plugin zip from your RankSage account and activate it.

Paste your site key

Generated in RankSage under Tracking. Each switch — tag, crawler capture, agent files — can be turned on independently.

Verify

RankSage confirms the tag from your homepage and starts showing crawler visits as they arrive.

What it unlocks

The capabilities it feeds.

Verified AI Crawlers

A hit that says ClaudeBot might not be. Every claimed identity is checked against the operator's own DNS records before it counts.

Frustration Report

Find the pages where visitors visibly struggle and the content is thin — the only place both signals point at the same URL.

Agent Readiness

robots.txt, llms.txt, agents.md and your structured data — whether AI agents can reach you at all, and what to publish if not.

Limits

What it does not do.

Distributed as a zip from RankSage today; the wordpress.org directory listing is in progress.

Crawler visits are verified against each operator's published DNS records; where an operator publishes nothing, the visit is recorded as unverifiable rather than counted.

The plugin never changes content, themes or other plugins.

FAQ

Questions about WordPress, answered.

What it provides, what it needs, and where its edges are.

AI crawlers fetch HTML without running JavaScript, so no browser-based tag ever fires. A server-side record is the only way the data exists, and that is what the plugin writes.

It is a dependency-free script of about 5KB served from your own domain, running alongside whatever analytics you already have.
