## Skildring

**RealTrace AI** delivers real-time traffic classification and visitor counting 
for your WordPress site. It accurately separates authentic human readers from search
engine indexers (Google, Bing) and automated AI answer engine scrapers (OpenAI GPTBot,
ClaudeBot, Perplexity, ByteSpider, and DeepSeek).

Equipped with a dual-layer tracking system (combining standard server detection 
with a client-side REST beacon), it ensures human visitors are counted even on sites
running aggressive full-page caching like LiteSpeed or WP Rocket.

### Features

 * **Dual-Layer Tracking:** Server-side detection captures bots and curl requests;
   client-side REST beacon counts human page-cache hits.
 * **AEO & LLM Crawler Detection:** Pre-configured signatures for GPTBot, ClaudeBot,
   PerplexityBot, Meta AI, Applebot, and ByteDance.
 * **Cache-Busting Design:** Bypasses LiteSpeed, Cloudflare, and Nginx caching without
   external CDN calls.
 * **Interactive Frontend Shortcodes:** Display real-time visitor counters or head-
   to-head battle widgets.
 * **100% Local & Privacy Focused:** Operates entirely within your local WordPress
   database without transmitting data to external servers.

### Shortcodes Available

 * `[realtrace_smart_counter]` – Visual card showing real humans, bot counts, and
   human traffic score with a pulsing activity dot.
 * `[realtrace_traffic_battle]` – Head-to-head visual comparison box displaying 
   human vs. AI scraper percentages.
 * `[realtrace_human_counter]` – Minimal inline counter outputting verified human
   hits.
 * `[realtrace_ai_counter]` – Minimal inline counter outputting automated crawler
   hits.

## Installasjon

 1. Upload the `realtrace-traffic-counter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress.
 3. Access real-time analytics under «RealTrace AI» in your dashboard.
 4. Place any of the supported shortcodes (such as `[realtrace_smart_counter]`) on 
    your posts or pages.

## Vanlege spm.

### Does this plugin work with page caching plugins?

Yes. While standard PHP hit counters fail on cached pages, RealTrace AI uses an 
asynchronous REST API beacon (`/wp-json/realtrace/v1/track`) to record verified 
visits.

### Does this plugin send data to external third-party services?

No. RealTrace AI processes and stores all logs completely inside your WordPress 
database. No visitor IP addresses or data are transmitted to any external third-
party service.
