Kinsta + Maintouch
Track the AI agents reading your Kinsta WordPress site, straight from its access logs.
Overview
GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Perplexity-User fetch your WordPress pages without running JavaScript, so Google Analytics never counts them. Kinsta’s servers still log every one of those requests.
Connect Kinsta with a company API key and Maintouch reads the access log of your live environment. We keep only the requests from known AI agents and add them to Agent Analytics, by agent and by page.
How it works
- 01
Paste your API key
Add a Kinsta company API key. Maintouch checks it with Kinsta before saving anything.
- 02
Pick your live environment
If one live environment serves your domain we select it for you. Otherwise choose it from the list.
- 03
Watch agent traffic land
We backfill the last four days of logs right away, then sync again every hour.
What you get
Hourly syncs
Kinsta keeps only four days of access logs, so Maintouch reads them every hour and nothing ages out uncounted.
Live traffic only
Only live environments can be selected, so staging visits never inflate your numbers.
Known agents, by name
GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and more are matched by their own user agent. Unlisted bots are dropped, not guessed.
Ask Agent M
Ask which posts Perplexity read this week and get an answer from your own Kinsta logs.

Can I see traffic from before I connected?
Up to four days. Kinsta keeps four days of access logs, so that is as far back as the first sync can reach.
Does connecting Kinsta change my site?
No. Maintouch only reads sites, environments and access logs through the Kinsta API. Nothing is installed in WordPress.
What if I switch to a different environment?
Pick the new one in the connector settings. Counts from the old environment are cleared and the new one is backfilled.
