Most WordPress traffic plugins count visits - I wanted to see the suspicious layer
I’ve been working on a small WordPress plugin called LiteCache STV - Suspicious Traffic Viewer.
The idea behind it is simple: most traffic plugins try to count visitors. STV tries to classify the request layer that is easy to miss - suspicious requests, masked traffic, known bots, AI crawlers, missing or unusual user agents, non-200 responses, and traffic that does not look clearly human-like.
It is not a realtime analytics dashboard, not a WAF, and not a replacement for server logs. It is more of an inspection tool for the suspicious/not-human-like layer that often gets buried inside normal-looking traffic.
The first public GitHub release is now available:

Feedback from people who actually look at access logs, bot traffic, crawlers, or suspicious WordPress requests would be very welcome.
