Description

This plugin automatically generates an LLMs.txt file — a simple, structured list of important public URLs from your site — designed specifically for Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI systems.
It works much like a traditional XML sitemap, but is optimized for the way AI agents read and learn from the web.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with popular SEO tools like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and now AIOSEO, automatically excluding content marked as noindex or nofollow.

✅ Future-proof your site for AI discovery
✅ Lightweight, automatic, and customizable
✅ No need for manual configuration

Una herramienta que parece cumplir cmuy bien su cometido. Fácil de usar y con opciones muy intuitivas para personalizar el llms.txt

Very Impressed

By Gidseo (gidseo) on July 16, 2025

I understand the llms.txt protocol has not been adopted by major LLMs yet, but it seems prudent to engage with what is likely to be adopted.

Practically, it's an easy setup - no issues on 10 sites I've added it to.

Very impressed by the speed of bug fixes and improvements by the team behind the plugin.

Much better than YOAST

By meetbryce on July 1, 2025

I tried the simple solution of enabling LLMs.txt in YOAST since that's my SEO plugin of choice (and has been for 10+ years). Their LLMs.txt was extremely simplified and lacked depth, listing only ~5 posts and ~5 pages. This app did a much more thorough job and was super easy to configure. Highly recommended.

Intrigued. Simple enough to setup

Une évolution naturelle du référencement

By Baptiste REY (baptisterey) on April 1, 2025

Je viens de tester un plugin WordPress qui génère un fichier .txt destiné à faciliter l’indexation de votre contenu par les modèles de langage (LLM), à la manière des fichiers sitemap .xml utilisés par Google Search Console.

À mon sens, ce type d’outil représente une évolution naturelle du référencement dans un web où les IA génératives prennent de plus en plus de place. Tout comme le sitemap XML a structuré notre façon de déclarer notre contenu aux moteurs de recherche, ce format .txt pourrait bien devenir un standard pour rendre nos sites "compréhensibles" par les IA.

👉 Les standards sont encore jeunes et vont certainement évoluer, mais il est important de prendre date dès aujourd’hui. En s’intéressant dès maintenant à ces outils, on prépare ses sites à une nouvelle forme de visibilité : celle qui passe par les assistants IA, les agents conversationnels et autres interfaces pilotées par les LLM.

C’est une vraie révolution silencieuse qui commence, et j’ai hâte de voir comment la communauté WordPress va s’en emparer !

Also works with European characters

By Michael Kohlfürst (mikemerci) on February 19, 2025

Website LLMs.txt also works now with Ü Ö A which is important. It does what it shall. Next step is that it ads a description of the Domain in the beginning which I saw with other LLMS Text Plugins

4.0.8

🛠 Improvements & Fixes
✅ Fixed an issue where post revisions triggered the post deletion handler

The handle_post_deletion() function now ignores post revisions by checking the post type (post_type !== ‘revision’).
This prevents unnecessary updates when WordPress auto-saves revisions or when users delete revisions manually.
✅ Enhanced stability of the content update process

Ensured that the handle_post_deletion() function only executes when an actual post is deleted, reducing unnecessary file rewrites.
✅ General code improvements

Added additional validation to prevent errors when handling deleted posts.
Optimized database queries for better performance.
🚀 This update improves the plugin’s efficiency by reducing unnecessary processing and ensuring more stable content updates.

4.0.7

🛠 Improvements & Fixes
✅ Fixed rewrite rule conflicts:

Resolved an issue where the add_rewrite_rule() function was overriding WordPress post editing URLs.
Implemented a check to ensure the llms.txt rule does not overwrite existing permalink structures.
Used wp_rewrite_rules() to verify if the rule already exists before adding it.
✅ Enhanced rewrite rule handling:

Prevented duplicate rules from being registered.
Improved compatibility with custom post types and WordPress core URLs.
✅ Code Optimization & Performance:

Added additional security checks when handling requests.
Improved overall plugin stability and reliability.
🚀 This update ensures smoother permalink handling, better compatibility with WordPress core features, and improved stability for future updates.
