No. The server-side bot check is a lightweight PHP hook that adds negligible overhead. The report to Unsourced is a non-blocking background request — your page renders immediately without waiting for it. The JS beacon is an async script tag that fires after page load.
No. Unsourced is a monitoring and intelligence tool, not a firewall. Bots are recorded and reported but served normally. Use your robots.txt or a WAF if you want to restrict access.
Citation monitoring is the core intelligence feature of the Unsourced platform. Once your site is verified, Unsourced runs weekly checks across five AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT web search, and Gemini grounded search). It generates a set of high-intent questions based on your actual content topics — the same kind of queries your readers type into AI assistants — and checks whether the AI cites your domain in its response. Every result is logged, including uncited responses (so you can see who the AI recommended instead of you).
An Origin Signal is a hidden, unique marker embedded in your page content by the Unsourced plugin. From v1.2.0 the plugin automatically injects a span element in your page footer containing your site's unique canary token. If an AI model ingests your content and later reproduces it verbatim in a response, the token appears in the AI's output — creating a timestamped, traceable record of AI content reproduction beyond an ordinary citation. The token is fetched automatically when you save your API key and a verified site is matched. The settings page shows an Origin Signal Active badge when the token is in place.
Yes, from version 1.1.0. When you save a valid API key and your site is matched to a verified Unsourced site, the plugin automatically injects the Unsourced JS beacon into your page <head>. No copy-paste required. The beacon complements the server-side PHP detection by capturing any AI bots that do execute JavaScript. You can confirm it is active — the plugin settings page shows a green "JS Beacon Active" badge once configured.
No — Unsourced offers a free 14-day trial with full access to bot detection, citation monitoring, and report generation. After the trial, a Standard (£29/mo) or Pro (£49/mo) subscription is required to continue.
WordPress.com managed hosting does not support third-party plugins. This plugin is for self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org sites). If you cannot install plugins, you can still add the Unsourced JS beacon manually via your theme or a custom code block.
This means your site URL in Unsourced doesn't match your WordPress site URL, or the site hasn't been verified yet. Go to your Unsourced dashboard, add your site, complete the verification step, then return to Settings → Unsourced and click Save Settings again. The beacon will activate automatically once the site is matched.
No. The plugin requires a valid Unsourced API key to record events. Without it, the plugin loads but does not send any data.
