Akamai EdgeWorkers + xSeek: Detect AI bots at the edge

Implement AI bot tracking using Akamai EdgeWorkers. Enterprise-grade edge computing with global scale and reliability.

CDNEdge Workers

Overview

Akamai EdgeWorkers allows you to run JavaScript at the edge across Akamai's massive global network. Deploy AI bot detection close to your users with minimal latency. This integration leverages Akamai's EdgeWorkers to identify AI bots before they reach your origin, providing comprehensive tracking while maintaining the performance and security benefits of Akamai's CDN.

×Client-side JS

What you'd miss

Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom — none of them fire for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Perplexity. Client scripts never run for crawlers that don't execute JS.

xSeek · EdgeWorker

What you capture

Every bot hit, server-side, with the exact user-agent, URL, and timestamp — before the page even renders. No sampling, no blind spots.
