Built WebmasterID — AI visibility and bot analytics for modern websites

Petro Hrys — Sun, 17 May 2026 18:29:15 +0000

Traditional analytics tools were designed for a very different internet.

Twebdev #seoes increasingly interact with:
•⁠ ⁠AI crawlers
•⁠ ⁠automated agents
•⁠ ⁠LLM-driven systems
•⁠ ⁠aggressive bots
•⁠ ⁠non-human traffic patterns

But most analytics dashboards still focus mainly on pageviews and sessions.

So I started building WebmasterID.

The goal is not “more charts”.

The goal is helping developers, founders, and website operators better understand how modern automated systems interact with their websites.

Current focus

•⁠ ⁠AI visibility analytics
•⁠ ⁠bot intelligence
•⁠ ⁠privacy-aware tracking
•⁠ ⁠lightweight webmaster infrastructure
•⁠ ⁠SEO-aware analytics
•⁠ ⁠Next.js/Vercel-friendly integration

What I wanted to avoid

I did not want:
•⁠ ⁠bloated analytics
•⁠ ⁠slow scripts
•⁠ ⁠invasive tracking
•⁠ ⁠fake AI marketing
•⁠ ⁠complicated setup

The focus is practical infrastructure and visibility.

Technical direction

WebmasterID is being built with:
•⁠ ⁠modern Next.js workflows
•⁠ ⁠server-first architecture
•⁠ ⁠lightweight tracking
•⁠ ⁠webhook/event infrastructure
•⁠ ⁠SEO-conscious implementation
•⁠ ⁠GDPR-aware consent handling

Still early

Still actively improving:
•⁠ ⁠dashboard UX
•⁠ ⁠AI visibility tooling
•⁠ ⁠event explorer
•⁠ ⁠tracking reliability
•⁠ ⁠analytics architecture
