Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve anticipated your concerns and engineered solutions for each one.
We use multiple detection signals: user-agent analysis, behavior patterns, IP range verification, and HTTP header fingerprinting. For high-confidence detection, we also offer optional reverse DNS verification to confirm the bot is legitimate.
Bot detection is never 100% but by correlating several independent signals and scoring confidence, PulseRank delivers the most reliable on-site detection you can achieve without using paid external fingerprinting or threat-intel providers.
PulseRank offers AI visibility controls with three modes: Open (allow all), Balanced (restrict sensitive areas), and Block (add Disallow: / rules for 25+ AI bots like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot).
We update bot signatures regularly as new AI crawlers and services emerge. Updates are included with each plugin release.
No. Detection is lightweight and optimized for performance. Bot identification happens during the initial request with minimal overhead, while data aggregation runs efficiently in the background.
