AI Crawler Tracking FAQ
What does AI crawler tracking show?
It shows which known crawlers visited your site, how many times they requested pages, which pages they targeted, and when they were last seen.
Does this require a separate script or extra setup?
No. Crawler tracking runs through the standard Copper Analytics tracking script, so you do not need a second tag or a special integration.
Why is this different from Google Analytics?
Most mainstream analytics tools focus on human traffic and filter known bots out. Copper keeps crawler traffic visible so you can monitor AI and automation activity directly.
