# WordPress Plugin

The plugin handles everything server-side: it detects AI crawler visits and human referrals from AI answers, and sends them to Airefs automatically. Once it’s active and connected, both [Impressions](/docs/impressions/) and [Clicks](/docs/clicks/) will start populating in your dashboard.

## Installing the plugin

1.  Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2.  Go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin**.
3.  Search for **Airefs**.
4.  Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.

Alternatively, download the plugin directly from [wordpress.org/plugins/airefs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/airefs/) and upload it via **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.

## Connecting your account

After activation, go to **Settings → Airefs** in your WordPress admin. Enter your **Airefs API key** — you’ll find it in your Airefs account under **Settings → Tracking** — then click **Save Settings**.

That’s it. Tracking starts immediately.

## A note on caching plugins

Tracking runs server-side when the page is requested, before caching layers serve a cached copy. AI crawler impressions are always detected. Human click tracking may occasionally be missed if a fully cached response bypasses PHP entirely — in that case, consider supplementing with the [API integration](/docs/integrations/api/).

If events aren’t appearing, double-check your API key is copied correctly from **Settings → Tracking** in Airefs, and that the plugin is active (not just installed). Need help? Email [support@getairefs.com](mailto:support@getairefs.com).
