Overview
Fastly Compute provides edge computing capabilities that let you detect and track AI bots before they reach your origin server. Using JavaScript/WASM at the edge, you can implement AI bot detection with minimal latency across Fastly's global network. This approach works with any website behind Fastly and provides comprehensive tracking without modifying your origin infrastructure.
×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 · Edge Compute
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.
