See what your site is doing right now — not yesterday.
LogLens streams your Cloudflare, Vercel, or CloudFront logs in real time, classifies every request, and ties logs to your sitemap, Google Search Console, and robots.txt — so you know what Googlebot, ChatGPT, and every bot on the internet is actually doing to your site, the moment it happens.
Who is LogLens for?
Five user types we built LogLens around. Each has a specific problem that existing tools don't solve in time.
The technical SEO
In-house SEO lead at a growing content or SaaS site
"I deployed sitemap changes yesterday. No idea if Googlebot has seen them. Search Console won't tell me for 48 hours."
Real scenario: Friday 4pm URL-structure deploy. By Saturday 8am LogLens alerts: Googlebot hit 1,247 of your old URLs and got 404s because the redirect rules missed a pattern. You fix it before Monday traffic. Search Console wouldn't have shown you until Tuesday — and by then Google has already started deindexing.
The SEO agency
Technical-SEO agency managing 20–200 client sites
"Screaming Frog seats × every client × every consultant doesn't scale. Botify starts at $75,000/yr."
Real scenario: You manage 50 client sites. One LogLens account, every consultant on the team has access, every client gets a shared read-only dashboard link. When something breaks on any client's site, the team sees it in real time — not when the consultant remembers to re-run a desktop log analysis next month.
The AI-GEO specialist
New 2026 role — "SEO, but for AI answers"
"I need to know if GPTBot, ClaudeBot and OAI-SearchBot are actually reading my content. Are they? Which pages? Is my crawl-to-refer ratio good or bad?"
Real scenario: GPTBot fetched 847 of your product pages last week, verified against OpenAI's official IP ranges. Your /pricing page is being crawled 3× more than competitors'. Your ClaudeBot activity dropped 40% last Wednesday — LogLens shows the timing coincides with a robots.txt update. You revert the change the same day.
The developer / DevOps lead
Engineering at a high-traffic site or web app
"Attack traffic hammered /wp-login.php yesterday and took the site down. Our infra alerts saw 'high CPU', not 'attack in progress'. SEO tooling missed it because the traffic was tagged 'human'."
Real scenario from a LogLens customer: A single datacentre IP sent 114,838 POSTs to /blog//wp-login.php in six hours, rotating 20+ fake browser UAs to evade detection. Traditional monitoring saw only "high CPU load". LogLens alerted within the first hour with the attacker IP named, the attack path identified, and a "scraper rotating UAs" label. Rate-limited at the CDN before the on-call engineer had their first coffee.
The Shopify Plus / Hydrogen e-commerce manager
SEO / ops at a Shopify Plus or other platform-constrained store
"Shopify doesn't give me server logs. Google Search Console is always 2–3 days behind. I'm flying blind on what crawlers are doing on my store."
Real scenario: Black Friday prep pages launched Tuesday. By Friday morning LogLens shows Googlebot hadn't touched them — a leftover Disallow: /collections/holiday-* in robots.txt from last year's campaign. You fix it with 10 days to traffic week. With batch-based SEO tools, you'd have found out in Search Console after the sale.
The security-conscious SEO
SEO and web-ops lead at a site routinely crawled by scrapers and bot impersonators
"Everyone claims to be Googlebot. Half of them aren't. My analytics tool can't tell the difference. Meanwhile the real Googlebot is getting rate-limited by my WAF because it can't distinguish either."
Real scenario: LogLens verifies every claimed bot against its official published IP ranges. Fake Googlebots get flagged bot_verified: false, status: unverified. You set alerts on unverified-bot surges. Your WAF whitelists real Googlebot IPs (from LogLens's verified list) so legitimate crawl isn't throttled.
Why live data changes everything
Most SEO log tools take yesterday's logs, load them overnight, and give you a report next morning. That means every regression has 12–48 hours to hurt you before anyone notices. LogLens sees events as they happen, classifies them in-flight, and alerts within five minutes.
"Upload yesterday's logs. Report by tomorrow morning."
Logs exported daily from your CDN, uploaded to the analyzer, processed overnight, reported on in the morning. By then the damage has been done.
- Monday 14:00 Deploy accidentally breaks product URL structure
- Monday 14:00–23:59 Googlebot hits 15,000 404s. No one knows.
- Tuesday 02:00 Logs exported for the day
- Tuesday 09:00 Analyzer report generated
- Tuesday 10:00 Someone reads the report
- Tuesday 11:00 Fix deployed
- Total blast window: 21 hours
"Stream from CDN. Alert in 5 minutes."
Cloudflare, Vercel, or CloudFront logs stream into LogLens as they happen. Every request is classified, crawler-verified, and anomaly-scored in-flight. Alerts fire the moment something looks off.
- Monday 14:00 Same deploy breaks URLs
- Monday 14:03 First Googlebot 404s land in LogLens
- Monday 14:08 Error-spike alert fires with specific URLs
- Monday 14:15 Fix deployed before the crawler returns
- Total blast window: 15 minutes
This is not hypothetical. A LogLens customer — a UK comparison site — had a brute-force attack against /blog//wp-login.php
from a single datacentre IP pushing 114,838 hits. LogLens caught it within one 5-minute window.
A batch tool would have reported it the next morning, long after the attacker had
already taken the site down.
The only SEO log tool that ties everything together
Logs tell you what actually happened. Sitemaps tell you what should have happened. Search Console tells you what Google saw. robots.txt tells you what you allowed. Most tools have one of these. LogLens has all four, tied together in real time.
Logs
What actually happened on the origin. Every request, every bot, every status code.
Sitemap
What you want crawled. Fetched and diffed daily, changes detected automatically.
Search Console
What Google actually shows in search. Pulled via the official API.
robots.txt
What you allowed. Change-tracked so you can correlate drops to policy edits.
Questions only LogLens can answer
- Which URLs in my sitemap has Googlebot never crawled in the last 30 days?
- Which URLs does Google show in search but Googlebot hasn't crawled in 90 days? (Likely deindexing soon.)
- Did last Tuesday's robots.txt change cause Googlebot's drop in visits? Show me the exact hour it stopped.
- What's my crawl-to-refer ratio for each AI crawler? Is ChatGPT citing my content proportional to how much it crawls?
- Which URLs are burning crawl budget with 404s or redirects when they should be 200s?
- Is the Googlebot I'm seeing actually Googlebot — or a scraper spoofing its user-agent?
Crawl budget monitoring
Stop wasting Googlebot's time on pages you don't care about
Every site has a finite amount of time Googlebot is willing to spend. If 40% of that goes to 404s, redirects, and attack probes, only 60% lands on the pages you actually want indexed.
LogLens shows you — in real time — where Googlebot is spending its budget. Which URLs waste it. Which sections are over- or under-served. Whether that cheap redirect rule you added last month now accounts for 18% of all crawler hits.
Nothing else on the market shows you this. Screaming Frog shows you what you uploaded. Search Console shows you aggregates. Only LogLens shows you the behaviour, live, broken down by intent.
Recovering even half of that would move ~140 URLs/day from unindexed to indexed.
Alerts that name names
"Your site might be down" is not an alert
Every alerting tool can tell you something is wrong. Most of them can't tell you what is wrong or who is doing it. LogLens alerts name the specific IP, the specific crawler, the specific paths — so you know exactly what to do when one lands in your inbox.
Every alert runs an enrichment query against your log history and checks reachability. We won't tell you your site is down if a 200 HEAD probe says it isn't. We won't tell you about a redirect storm without naming the IP causing it.
45.86.xxx.xxx (Singapore datacentre) sent 1,508 requests
using 20 different user-agents. That's a scraper rotating UAs to evade detection, not a site problem.
The redirects are your apex→www canonicalisation working correctly. Consider rate-limiting this IP at your CDN.
/blog (245), /products/xyz (189), /pricing (87).
