Bot Tracker is our bot tracking plugin for XenForo 2.3. The goal is simple: to make bot traffic to your forum visible, understandable, and manageable.
The plugin automatically detects bots from Google, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Facebook, X/Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, LinkedIn, Applebot, Semrush, and many others. These are not only detected within the system but also displayed by name, logged, and reported in the Admin CP.
