Your site's complete AI funnel: crawled, fetched, visited.
What AI bots crawl, what an AI fetches live to answer a request, and the visitors ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude send you. All of it measured passively on your real traffic — no synthetic prompts, no extrapolated visibility.
The funnel's three stages: Crawled = AI bot passes over your pages · Fetched live = pages retrieved by an AI while handling a request · Visited = humans arriving from an AI chat. Each stage stays separate, aggregated, with no analytics cookie.
It's AI observability applied to content and acquisition: observing what AIs actually do with your pages, rather than extrapolating visibility.
Measured, not guessed.
Most AI visibility tools estimate your visibility by querying AIs with thousands of synthetic prompts. Snorklee reads your site's real AI traffic.
Typical AI visibility tools ℹ
- Source: simulated prompts sent to AIs
- Metric: estimated “share of voice”
- Data: synthetic, outside your site
Snorklee
- Source: real AI traffic on your site
- Metric: observed crawls, live fetches and visits
- Data: first-party, cookieless, hosted in Europe
Snorklee doesn't claim to know the exact question behind a fetch or a visit (that data isn't in the referrer) — it shows the AI traffic actually received.
AIs already read your site. Now you can see it.
Three dashboard cards, exactly as they appear: who crawls you, how many visits arrive from ChatGPT or Perplexity, and which pages AIs fetch to answer.
The detection base behind the AI funnel.
Each AI crawler is detected server-side, then aggregated into the dashboard tiles: detected AI agents, AI activity over time and AI distribution. Human visits from AI chats are read separately from the referrer.
The agent list is maintained and updated regularly.

AI traffic is no longer marginal.
In 2025-2026, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and their peers are becoming important access points to information. Users ask questions and often get answers built from web pages — sometimes with an outbound link, sometimes without a direct visit.
Your current tools can't see it. GA4 files 60 to 70% of traffic coming from AI assistants under “Direct”, and AI crawlers often represent 20 times the human traffic they send back — invisible to a classic JavaScript tracker, which never sees a bot go by.
Snorklee gives you a readable view: which bots come by, which pages they read, which get fetched live to answer — and the pages “crawled but never visited”, your best candidates for optimization. An editorial signal alongside search, social and direct.
Honest note: we measure AI visibility (who crawls, how often). We don't promise placement in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers — that depends on the LLM's own algorithm and nobody controls it.

Nine cards, all fed by your real traffic: the funnel and its curves, the standout moments, the sources, the crawlers, the pages — and an actionable AI summary. The probable stays separate from the certain.
Funnel Crawled → Fetched → Visited
3 stages + curvesThe three counters with their change vs the previous period and a daily curve per stage — never added together: each stage keeps its own unit.
AI moments
timelineFirst visit from an AI, first live fetch, weekly AI-share record, crawl spike: the standout moments, detected automatically and dated — with the AI's logo.
AI share of traffic
daily %The share of your human visits coming from an AI assistant, day by day — to see whether the AI era already weighs on your acquisition.

Pages as AIs see them

Server-side detection, in two parts.
-
Human visits from AI chats: the snippet is enough.
When a visitor clicks a link in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, their browser loads your page with an identifiable referrer. The server classifies the visit as
channel='ai'with the assistant name — zero friction here, nothing else to install. - AI bot crawls: server-side capture required. GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot read your HTML without running any JavaScript: no tracker can see them. To count them, enable the server beacon Snorklee provides (Express middleware, Cloudflare worker, Vercel/Netlify edge, PHP, WordPress plugin) — step-by-step guide in the dashboard Integration tab.
- Aggregation in the AI traffic tab. No analytics cookies for either measurement. The AI traffic tab shows the Crawled → Fetched live → Visited funnel, the AI share of traffic, the moments, the sources, the crawlers by family and the pages involved.
- Privacy documentation available. The stack is documented: Clever Cloud for the app, PostgreSQL and Cellar/S3; Scaleway Paris for the audit generator and domains; Brevo for email; DB-IP / Eris Networks for IP geolocation.
