Frenemy watches that traffic instead. For every request that reaches WordPress, the plugin: * **classifies** the visitor against a maintained registry of known agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot, PerplexityBot, and many more), * **verifies** identity claims where the operator publishes IP ranges — an out- of-range "Googlebot” is reported as an impostor, a real one as verified, * **reports** the result to your Frenemy dashboard at frenemy.dev, where you see who visits, how often, and what they claim to be. **Observe-only, by design.** The plugin never blocks, slows, challenges, or alters a request — there is no blocking code in it at all. It is also fail-open at every joint: classification runs after your page has already been sent, and any Frenemy failure means "no data,” never a broken or slower site. **Honest about what it sees.** Frenemy observes every request that reaches WordPress itself. Cached pages and static files are served before WordPress runs and are not observed — that trade-off is stated in the plugin, on your dashboard, and here, rather than papered over. The requests page caches never serve (cache misses, searches, POSTs, login, REST, and XML-RPC traffic) are exactly where bot and impostor signal concentrates. **Account required.** The plugin needs a site key from a Frenemy account (free trial— no card required to start). All plugin code is fully functional and GPL; the key connects it to your dashboard, which is where the analytics live. There are no charts inside wp-admin and no duplicate analytics UI — one settings screen, one key, one link to your dashboard. ### External services This plugin talks to exactly two endpoints, both operated by Frenemy (frenemy.dev). It sends nothing anywhere until you save a site key. **1. Registry download (GET).** The plugin periodically downloads Frenemy’s public bot registry (user-agent patterns and published IP ranges for known agents) so classification can run locally on your server with no per-request network calls. No visitor data, cookies, or credentials are sent with this request. **2. Event reporting (POST).** After a response has been sent, the plugin reports one small event to Frenemy’s ingest service, authenticated by your site key. It contains: the classification result, the request method and path (query strings stripped except utm_*/ref/source), the response status code and duration, the visitor’s IP address (transmitted securely, processed transiently — hashed with a per-site rotating salt and never stored in raw form), and, only for unrecognized bot-like requests, the user-agent string. Human visitors’ user-agents are never transmitted, and presumed-human traffic is sampled, not tracked. By installing the plugin and entering your site key you consent to this reporting. Details: [Terms of Service](https://frenemy.dev/terms) · [Privacy Policy](https://frenemy.dev/privacy). ## انسٹالیشن 1. Install and activate the plugin from the WordPress.org directory. 2. Create a site at app.frenemy.dev (free trial) — the setup wizard shows your site key once. 3. In WordPress, go to Settings Frenemy, paste the key, and save. 4. Answer the one topology question on the same screen ("How does traffic reach this server?”) — it controls whether Frenemy can verify crawler IPs. Not sure? The default is safe. 5. Open `https://your-site.com/?frenemy=check` in a private window; your Frenemy wizard flips to Connected within a minute. ## عمومی سوالات ### Does this slow my site down? No. Classification and reporting run on PHP’s shutdown hook, after your page has been sent (and on most hosts, after the connection to the visitor is already closed). The classify step itself is local — no network calls in the request path, ever. ### Can it block bad bots? Not in this version — Frenemy for WordPress is deliberately observe-only, and there is no enforcement code in the plugin. See first, then decide: your dashboard shows exactly who visits and what they claim to be. ### Why don’t I see all my traffic? Page caches and static files are served before WordPress (and therefore Frenemy) runs. Frenemy sees every request that reaches WordPress itself: cache misses, searches, POSTs, logins, REST and XML-RPC traffic — which is where bot activity concentrates. We state this honestly rather than estimate numbers we can’t measure. ### What data do you collect about my visitors? Per PHP-reaching request: the classification, method and path, status, duration, and the visitor IP (processed transiently on our side — hashed with a rotating salt, raw value never stored). The user-agent string is transmitted only for unrecognized bot-like requests, never for humans. Presumed-human traffic is sampled at a low rate; exact totals are kept via counters, not tracking. No cookies are set, no fingerprinting is done, and no visitor profile is built. See https://frenemy.dev/privacy. ### How do I turn it off? Three ways, strongest first: define `FRENEMY_DISABLED` as true in wp-config.php ( host-level), deactivate the plugin, or use the "Pause observation” toggle in Settings Frenemy. Uninstalling removes every option the plugin created. ### Does it work with multisite? Not yet — single-site installs only in this version. ## جائزے There are no reviews for this plugin. ## شراکت دار اور ڈیویلپرز “Frenemy” اوپن سورس سافٹ ویئر ہے۔ مندرجہ ذیل لوگوں نے اس پلگ ان میں حصہ لیا: شراکت دار * [ frenemydev ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/frenemydev/) [“Frenemy” کا اپنی زبان میں ترجمہ کریں۔](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/frenemy) ### ڈویلپمینٹ میں دلچسپی ہے؟ [کوڈ براؤز کریں](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/frenemy/)، [ایس این وی ریپوزیٹری](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/frenemy/) کو چیک کریں یا [ڈویلپمینٹ لاگ](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/frenemy/) کو سبسکرائب کریں بذریعہ [آر ایس ایس](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/frenemy/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss)۔ ## چینج لاگ #### 0.1.0 * First release: local classification against the Frenemy registry (verification, impostor detection, per-family trust gating), observe-only event reporting, topology- aware IP trust, fail-open artifact caching, uninstall cleanup. ## میٹا * Version **0.1.0** * Last updated **2 مہینے پہلے** * Active installations **10 سے کم** * WordPress version ** 6.0 یا اس سے جدید ** * Tested up to **7.0.6** * PHP version ** 7.4 یا اس سے جدید ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/frenemy/) * Tags * [AI](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[analytics](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/analytics/) [bot detection](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bot-detection/)[bots](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bots/) [crawlers](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/crawlers/) * [اعلی درجے کا منظر](https://ur.wordpress.org/plugins/frenemy/advanced/) ## درجہ بندیاں No reviews have been submitted yet.
