AI-Only Pages gives you granular control over which search engine bots can index each page on your WordPress site — while simultaneously making those pages more discoverable and useful for AI crawlers like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
The core idea: you have content that is perfect for AI training pipelines and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, but you do not want that content competing for rankings in Google, Bing, or Yahoo.
AI-Only Pages lets you mark those pages as AI-only: they disappear from traditional search engine indexes while becoming first-class citizens in the AI ecosystem.
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Per-bot noindex — Block individual bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, Yandexbot, etc.) with a checkbox per bot per page. Checking one bot blocks it; the others still index normally.</li>
<li>“Block All” master toggle — One click blocks all 10 supported search engine bots simultaneously.</li>
<li><code><meta></code> tags and HTTP headers — Both <code><meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, nofollow"></code> HTML meta tags and <code>X-Robots-Tag</code> HTTP headers are emitted, covering all crawling contexts. Works correctly on all public post types including Pages and custom post types.</li>
<li>SEO plugin integration — Suppresses Yoast SEO, WP Core, and RankMath’s global <code><meta name="robots"></code> tag on AI-only pages so there is no conflict between the global tag and your per-bot tags.</li>
<li>Sitemap exclusion — AI-Only pages are automatically removed from all XML sitemaps (Yoast SEO and WP Core sitemaps are both supported).</li>
<li><code>/llms-index.txt</code> — A plain-text AI discovery file served at <code>yoursite.com/llms-index.txt</code> listing all AI-only pages with their titles and last-modified dates. AI crawlers can use this file to find your AI-optimised content directly. Can be toggled on/off from the settings page.</li>
<li>Token Diet — clean AI output — When an AI crawler visits an AI-only page, the plugin serves a cleaned version of the HTML with navigation, sidebars, footers, cookie banners, inline styles, SVGs, and iframes stripped out. AI models receive pure content with minimal noise.</li>
<li>Global Settings Page — A top-level “AI-Only Pages” menu in the WordPress admin sidebar lets you configure Token Diet and LLM Index behaviour globally, without touching code.</li>
<li>Caching plugin notice — If WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, or another full-page caching plugin is detected, an admin notice explains how to configure it to work alongside this plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The Settings Page</h4>
A full settings page is available under AI-Only Pages in the WordPress admin sidebar. It provides:
Section 1 — Instructions & Status: A “How It Works” guide covering the meta box, Token Diet, and LLM Index. A live, clickable URL to your <code>/llms-index.txt</code> file with a green/red status indicator showing whether the index is active.
Section 2 — LLM Index Settings: A toggle to enable or disable <code>/llms-index.txt</code> globally. When disabled, the endpoint returns a 404.
Section 3 — Token Diet Master Control: A master toggle to enable or disable Token Diet entirely. When off, AI bots receive raw, full HTML — identical to what human visitors see.
Section 4 — Granular Token Diet Stripping: Individual toggles for each category of content stripped:
<ul>
<li>Strip structural layout (headers, footers, sidebars, navigation, cookie banners)</li>
<li>Strip <code><style></code> tags and embedded CSS</li>
<li>Strip <code><svg></code> elements (major token bloaters)</li>
<li>Strip <code><iframe></code> elements (maps, embeds, social widgets)</li>
<li>Strip <code><form></code> elements (Warning: removes WooCommerce Add to Cart buttons)</li>
<li>Strip <code><script></code> tags (Note: <code>application/ld+json</code> schema is always preserved)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Search Engine Bots</h4>
Googlebot (Web), Googlebot-Image, Googlebot-News, Googlebot-Video, AdsBot-Google, Bingbot, Slurp (Yahoo), DuckDuckBot, Baiduspider, YandexBot.
<h4>AI Bots Welcomed</h4>
GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, YouBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot, Bytespider, Diffbot, cohere-ai, anthropic-ai, AI2Bot, OAI-SearchBot, and more. These bots are detected automatically and served cleaned content when they visit an AI-only page.
<h4>Developer-Friendly</h4>
Every major behaviour is extensible via WordPress filters. See the Developer Reference section below. The Settings class hooks into filters at priority 5, leaving priorities 10 and above free for developer overrides — so your custom <code>add_filter()</code> calls always win.
<h3>Using the Plugin</h3>
<h4>Per-page control</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open any post or page in the WordPress editor.</li>
<li>Find the AI-Only Pages meta box in the right sidebar.</li>
<li>Check individual bots to block them, or use Block from ALL search engine bots to check all at once.</li>
<li>Click Publish or Update to save. The noindex tags take effect immediately.</li>
<li>Visit <code>yoursite.com/llms-index.txt</code> to confirm your page appears in the AI content index.</li>
</ol>
Note: The master toggle requires JavaScript. The individual checkboxes always work regardless of JS state.
<h4>Global settings</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to AI-Only Pages in the WordPress admin sidebar.</li>
<li>Review the “How It Works” section and confirm your <code>/llms-index.txt</code> URL is live.</li>
<li>Use the LLM Index Settings card to enable or disable the discovery file.</li>
<li>Use the Token Diet — Master Control card to enable or disable all output cleaning.</li>
<li>Use the Token Diet — Granular Stripping card to select exactly which HTML elements are stripped from AI output.</li>
<li>Click Save Settings.</li>
</ol>

Developed by Mad Fish Digital, this plugin saves webmasters time when finding and removing thin pages from search engine indexes.
The plugin provides an interface to sort posts by word count and character count, then bulk noindex or nofollow them. Categories and terms can be sorted by post count and managed the same way. Author archive URLs can now also be managed from a dedicated tab — useful for controlling whether author pages appear in search results.
<h4>Please Keep in Mind</h4>
After a page or category is noindexed, it can take search engines up to a few weeks before the page stops appearing in the search index. The amount of time will depend on how frequently a search engine crawls your website. We recommend using Google Search Console to further analyze how your pages appear in the search index.
<h4>Advantages</h4>
1) Reduce the time it takes to NoIndex/NoFollow each page, post, category, or author URL manually
2) Sort posts and pages by word count and character count to quickly identify thin content
3) Sort categories and tags by their number of associated posts
4) Manage NoIndex and NoFollow directives for author archive URLs from a dedicated Authors tab
5) Speed up search engine penalty recovery by bulk noindexing large numbers of posts and pages
6) Quickly noindex content identified by web crawlers such as Screaming Frog or DeepCrawl
7) Visualize all posts’, pages’, categories’, and authors’ noindex and nofollow statuses at a glance
8) Syncs with Rank Math, Yoast SEO, and AIOSEO to maintain and manage your existing robots directives
<h4>Support</h4>
For support related inquiries, visit the <a href="https://www.madfishdigital.com/wp-plugins/" rel="follow nofollow ugc">Mad Fish Digital plugin support page</a> to drop us a line or ask a question. Please note that responses to specific inquiries may take up to 24 hours.
<h4>Why would you want to remove a bulk amount of pages from search indexes?</h4>
At Mad Fish Digital, we use tools like Screaming Frog, LinkResearch Tools, Ahrefs, and SEM Rush to crawl and analyze web pages. Sometimes, you want to remove multiple web pages from a search engine’s index that contain no longer current content, old products and services, or outdated guidelines/regulations. In many of these cases, you need the pages to be temporarily dropped from Google’s index today, but may want to update the content at a later date. By noindexing a post or page, you can avoid having to set the status code of those pages to 404 (or 410).
This is where having a tool to bulk noindex/nofollow these pages can become handy. You can easily remove pages from the search index, then remove the noindex directive once the content has been updated.
This plugin allows you to bulk edit the meta robots index and follow directives for your site’s posts, pages, categories, and author archive URLs. This tool is compatible with your existing Rank Math, Yoast SEO, and AIOSEO settings. Syncing of category noindex/nofollow settings with Yoast and AIOSEO is not yet supported.
By keeping your pages in sync with the noindex/nofollow settings for Rank Math, Yoast, and AIOSEO, you never have to worry about duplicating efforts or which plugin is managing your robots directives.
<h4>Fallback Protection</h4>
If you disable your Rank Math, Yoast, or AIOSEO plugins, this plugin will continue to serve the appropriate meta robots tag based on the noindex/nofollow settings configured through the interface.
If you do disable any of these plugins, be sure to check the Bulk NoIndex/NoFollow interface (Tools menu) to confirm that your posts, pages, and author URLs are still noindexed and nofollowed accordingly. Robots directives set directly through the WP post editing interface may not always be tracked by this plugin if those SEO plugins were previously enabled but are later disabled.
<h3>Installation & Usage</h3>
1) Login as an administrator to your WordPress Admin account. Using the “Add New” menu option under the “Plugins” section of the navigation, you can either search for: “Bulk NoIndex & NoFollow Tool” or if you’ve downloaded the plugin already, click the “Upload” link, find the .zip file you downloaded and then click “Install Now”. Or you can unzip and FTP upload the plugin to your plugins directory.
2) Navigate to Tools -> Bulk NoIndex/NoFollow
3) Use the Posts, Categories, or Authors tabs to manage robots directives
