Website LLMs.txt

Website LLMs.txt generates and manages an llms.txt file, a structured, AI-ready index that helps large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity understand your site’s most important content.

How llms.txt works

Traditional sitemaps and robots files guide search engines. But as AI-driven systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity increasingly ingest web content, they benefit from a clear, structured list of a site’s most important URLs. llms.txt offers that: a plain-text or Markdown list of essential public URLs, optionally annotated with titles, descriptions, and grouping, designed for AI consumption rather than general web crawling.

Key benefits

✅ AI discovery readiness — future-proof your site for AI indexing and content retrieval. ✅ Fully automatic — the plugin builds and updates your llms.txt file on its own schedule. ✅ SEO plugin integration — works seamlessly with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO, automatically excluding content marked as noindex or nofollow. ✅ Advanced controls — choose post types, customize file titles or descriptions, attach optional Markdown files, and trigger manual regeneration. ✅ Developer-friendly — includes filters such as llms_generator_get_post_meta_description for description logic, performance tuning, and custom indexing behavior. ✅ AI crawler detection — opt in to track whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot are actually reading your site’s llms.txt. ✅ WooCommerce & multisite ready — respects product visibility rules and scales easily across large or networked sites. ✅ Privacy-first experiment — anonymous, encrypted telemetry helps reveal which bots are accessing llms.txt files across the web.

Activation & setup

1. Activate the plugin.
2. Visit Settings → LLMs.txt to configure post types, update frequency (immediate, daily, or weekly), and optional crawler logging.
3. The plugin generates llms.txt (and optionally llms-full.txt) and serves it from your site root.
4. Content updates trigger automatic regeneration. All noindex/nofollow rules from your SEO plugin are respected.
5. If you enable AI crawler logging, local and global logs record each visit from known AI bots — viewable right inside your WordPress dashboard.
