Install the Siteline Agent Analytics plugin to track AI bot visits on your WordPress site. No code required — the plugin runs in fire-and-forget mode inside WordPress hooks, so there is zero impact on page load times.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Siteline website key
  • Administrator access to your WordPress site
  • Ability to install plugins on your WordPress installation

​
Setup

1

Open the Plugins panel

Navigate to your WordPress admin panel at https://yoursite.com/wp-admin and click Plugins in the left sidebar.
2

Search and install

Search for Siteline Agent Analytics in the Plugins search bar, then click Install Now.
3

Activate

Back in the Plugins list, click Activate under the Siteline Agent Analytics plugin.
4

Configure

Go to Settings > Siteline in the left sidebar and configure:
  • Enable Tracking: Leave checked (uncheck to pause tracking)
  • Website ID: Paste your Siteline website key from siteline.ai
Click Save Changes to apply.
5

Enable auto-updates (recommended)

On the Plugins page, enable auto-updates for Siteline to stay up to date automatically.

​
How it works

The plugin hooks into WordPress request processing:
  1. A visitor (or AI bot) makes a request to your WordPress site
  2. The plugin detects the request and extracts bot-relevant metadata (URL, user agent, IP, referrer)
  3. Tracking data is sent to Siteline asynchronously in a fire-and-forget pattern
  4. The page response is returned to the visitor unmodified
Errors are silently caught and discarded — the plugin never interferes with your site’s normal operation.

​
Plugin settings

​
Enable Tracking
boolean
required
Toggle AI bot tracking on or off. Checked by default.
​
Website ID
string
required
Your Siteline website key. Found under Agent Analytics > Manage Configuration in your Siteline workspace.

​
Troubleshooting

Verify that Enable Tracking is checked in Settings > Siteline and that your Website ID is entered correctly.
Navigate to Agent Analytics in your Siteline workspace and click Manage Configuration to view or regenerate your website key, then paste it into the plugin’s Website ID field.
If auto-updates are enabled, the plugin updates automatically. Otherwise, go to Plugins, find Siteline, and click Update Now when available.
No. The plugin sends tracking data asynchronously and never blocks page rendering. All errors are silently caught.
