CrawlGenius Log Analyzer analyzes server logs to show how search engines and AI crawlers interact with a website. It can help identify crawl budget waste, HTTP errors, orphan pages, redirect and canonical issues, and fake bots. AI and LLM crawler activity is separated from Googlebot, with comparisons between AI crawling and SEO crawling. Dashboards track crawl coverage, freshness, time to first visit, new URLs, and URLs that were crawled but never clicked. Logs can be supplied through a WordPress plugin, server agent, file upload, Amazon S3 connector, or FTP/sFTP deposit; FTP/sFTP is unavailable on the Free plan. Paid plans include a REST API and MCP server, while Free does not. The pricing page says AI crawler hits are checked against more than 3,500 official IP ranges and spoofed hits are rejected at ingestion. The company says data is hosted in the EU under GDPR, with visitor IP addresses truncated before storage. Paid plans include 13 months of history, with 90-day and three-year retention options also listed. A guided 30-day trial analyzes customer logs without a credit card or commitment. The service is web-based and the company is based in Dordogne, France.
