AI Traffic Alerts For Cloudflare — DevOps skill for Claude Code

ai-traffic-alerts-for-cloudflare

Get a push notification the moment an AI assistant sends you a real visitor: a person who clicked through from a ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or Grok answer. A visitor an AI actively pointed at you is rare and high-value, and this tells you the instant it happens.

It can also alert on **AI crawlers** fetching your pages (to train on them, index them, or answer a user live). That is the far higher-volume signal: a busy site sees thousands of crawler hits a day. One setting, `ALERT_ON`, chooses which signals fire (`referrals`, `crawlers`, or `both`); it **defaults to `referrals`** because crawlers are so much noisier. Turn them on with `ALERT_ON=crawlers` or `both`.

It runs as a single Cloudflare Worker in front of your site, inspects each request at the edge, fires a notification to your phone, and passes the request straight through to your origin. No tracking script, no database, no change to your pages. Detection and notifications run off the response path, so your site is never slowed down.

Why this exists

Most "AI bot" tools are about *blocking*. But the AI crawl is not the threat, it is the tell: it is the clearest early signal of who is reading you and why. The interesting question is not "how do I keep AI bots out," it is **"which AI engines actually touch me, and which ones send me people."** This tool makes that visible in real time, for free.

What it can and cannot tell you

This tool (free) tells you	It cannot tell you
A human landed on your site from an AI assistant, and on which page	Whether the AI actually cited you in an answer
An AI crawler hit your site, which vendor, and its purpose (train / index / answer live)	Which prompts you show up for, and which you are missing
The visitor's country, real-time, at your edge	Whether the AI recommended a competitor instead of you
Which signals to be alerted on (referrals, crawlers, or both)	Whether
