SEOS shows who really visits your site – and who only pretends to. Every request is counted on the server, and real browsers confirm themselves with a tiny script, so human visitors are cleanly separated from bots, crawlers and scrapers. Everything is stored in your own database: no external services, no cookies.
Visitor statistics
Humans vs. bots – user-agent detection for 140+ bots, JavaScript confirmation, headless/webdriver detection, scraper detection and fake Googlebot/Bingbot detection with reverse DNS.
Countries and IP addresses – local GeoIP database (no external lookups). See every page a single IP has visited, and every IP that visited a page.
Pages – most visited pages, landing pages, on-site searches, engaged time and scroll depth.
Sources – organic search (with the exact engine domain, e.g. google.de vs google.com), Google Discover / News / Images, social networks, email, paid ads, UTM campaigns.
AI traffic (GEO) – visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and other AI assistants.
History kept until you delete it , CSV export, optional data retention.
SEO insights
Search engine crawling – how often Googlebot, Bingbot and others crawl you, which pages, response codes and server response time.
Content not crawled – published posts that search engines have not visited.
AI crawlers – GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot, Amazonbot and more, and which pages they read.
404 errors – for people and for bots, including the page that contains the broken link.
Core Web Vitals from real visitors – LCP, INP, CLS and TTFB (75th percentile), by device and by page.
Classic SEOS features
Homepage meta description, canonical URL and keywords – with a live Google preview.
Verification for Google Search Console, Bing, Yandex and Pinterest (paste the code or the whole meta tag).
Google Analytics 4 / Tag Manager by ID, plus a custom <head> code field.
Open Graph and X (Twitter) cards with Media Library picker and share preview.
Geo tags for local businesses.
Admin notes with due dates on your dashboard – as many as you need, each in any colour.
Sticky notes you can place anywhere with a shortcode such as [seos_sticky_1] – as many as you need, in any paper colour, each keeps its own shortcode.
Built to be light and secure
One database insert per page view; the browser beacon uses a lightweight endpoint that does not load your theme or other plugins (with automatic REST API fallback).
Reports for months and years read compact daily summaries instead of raw rows.
Works with page caches – cached pages are still counted.
Signed beacons, per-IP rate limiting, prepared SQL everywhere, escaped output, nonces and capability checks on every action.
GDPR mode: no IP addresses stored at all, with one-click removal of IPs from existing history.
No Google Fonts or other third-party requests – the sticky-note font is bundled.
Languages
The interface is in English and every user can choose the plugin language – with flags – from the SEOS header. Included: Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian. More languages can be added on translate.wordpress.org.

Frequently asked questions.
I used SEOS 1.x. Will I lose my settings?
No. SEOS 2.0 uses exactly the same option names. Your meta tags, verification codes, Open Graph and Twitter settings, notes and sticky notes stay as they are, the [seos_sticky_1] shortcode keeps working and old links to the settings tabs redirect to the new screens.
Does SEOS use cookies?
No. Visitors are counted per day using a salted hash of IP address and browser, and nothing is stored in the visitor’s browser.
Is it GDPR friendly?
Yes. Data never leaves your server and no cookies are used. Under Statistics → Settings → “IP addresses & GDPR” you can choose:
Store full IP addresses (default),
Anonymize IP addresses (last part removed), or
GDPR mode – do not store IP addresses at all. The IP address is only used in memory while the page loads (country and bot detection). Visitors get an anonymous ID made with a random key that changes every day and is then deleted, so nobody can recover the IP address or follow a visitor across days.
One click also removes all IP addresses already stored in the history. You can exclude IPs and roles, respect Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control and delete any part of the history. SEOS adds a matching text to your privacy policy page.
Why can’t I see Google search keywords?
Google hides search terms from all websites. SEOS shows search terms only when an engine passes them (e.g. Yandex) or via utm_term. Use Google Search Console for Google keywords.
Where does the country data come from?
From the free DB-IP Country Lite database (CC BY 4.0), downloaded monthly to your uploads folder. You can also upload a MaxMind GeoLite2-Country file. Behind Cloudflare, the Cloudflare country header is used automatically.
