How AI search finds your site: live

Live bot-traffic data from two sites in our portfolio, updated every minute. No mockup, no marketing, just the logs.

Reach

AI bots index your site. Sitemap, robots.txt, content. Search engines, but with different intent.

Read

What they fetch, how often, which pages. This data is normally hidden in nginx logs.

Cite

Which content comes back in answers? That's what Lens is about.

This list only counts requests the site actually answered. Traffic rejected at the server door, such as scanners probing for configuration files, does not count as a crawl. What you see here is requested content, not noise.

Methodology

Data comes directly from nginx access logs. Bots are identified by user-agent. Updated every minute. Only requests the site answered on a path that exists here, or once did, are counted; scanner traffic to invented URLs is not. How strictly you draw that line shifts the comparison by a few percentage points; the exact variants are in the measurement report.
