<script>
// Function to detect AI bots
function checkForAIBot() {
const userAgent = navigator.userAgent;
// Define patterns for all known AI bots
const AI_BOTS = [

}),
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Error tracking AI bot:', error);
});
console.log('AI bot detected:', bot.name);
break;
}
}
}
// Run the check when the page loads
window.addEventListener('load', checkForAIBot);
</script>2Alternative: Use a WordPress plugin
If you prefer not to edit theme files, you can use plugins like "Header and Footer Scripts" or "Insert Headers and Footers" to add the tracking code to your site's <head> section.
- Install and activate one of these plugins from your WordPress dashboard
- Navigate to the plugin's settings page
- Paste the tracking code into the header section
- Save your changes
