LLM Friendly adds two capabilities to your WordPress site:
1) /llms.txt 
An LLM-friendly index of the website with main links and a list of latest items per post type. You can exclude individual entries from the feed via Settings → LLM Friendly → llms.txt → “Excluded items”.
2) Markdown exports 
For selected post types, the plugin exposes .md endpoints under: 
{base}/{post_type}/{path}.md 
Entries can override their Markdown body via the “Markdown override” sidebar panel (or Classic Editor metabox) and can also be excluded from export through the same settings page.
This is useful for LLMs, indexing bots, and users who prefer plain text. 
You can opt in to excerpts in llms.txt via <code>llms_show_excerpt</code>, and you can send <code>X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow</code> for Markdown exports via <code>md_send_noindex</code> if you want Markdown-only consumers without search engine indexing. 
If the automatic Markdown conversion does not fit a post, use the “Markdown override” sidebar panel (Gutenberg) or the Classic Editor metabox to provide a custom Markdown or block-based replacement.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>llms.txt endpoint with cached generation, optional excerpts, a configurable custom Markdown block, and a per-post exclusion list.</li>
<li>Markdown exports for selected post types with Gutenberg-to-Markdown conversion, per-post Markdown overrides (sidebar panel/metabox), and a per-post exclusion list shared with llms.txt.</li>
<li>Configurable base path for exports (e.g. “llm”) and per-post-type enable/disable toggles; changing the base path requires flushing rewrites.</li>
<li>Manual or automatic regeneration of the cached llms.txt with ETag/Last-Modified headers.</li>
<li>Optional X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow for both /llms.txt and Markdown exports; the Markdown header is controlled by <code>md_send_noindex</code>.</li>
<li>Toggle excerpts in llms.txt via <code>llms_show_excerpt</code> to add one-line summaries under each item.</li>
<li>Optional site title/description overrides plus a sitemap URL field for the generated llms.txt.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0+</li>
<li>PHP 7.4+</li>
</ul>
If requirements are not met, the plugin displays an admin notice and does not run.

Show up when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI answer your customers’ questions.
Your content can rank on the first page of Google and still be completely invisible to AI assistants. CiteWP measures exactly why — and shows you what to fix.
It’s the only WordPress plugin with a public, rubric-based AI citation score. Every signal, every weight, fully documented at citewp.com/cite-score. No black box. No API key required. Scores run locally on your server, free forever.
Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO — your SEO plugin gets you ranked; CiteWP gets you cited.
<h4>The Cite Score</h4>
Most AI SEO tools give you a number. CiteWP shows you the number, explains every point, and tells you exactly what to fix.
The Cite Score measures 17 weighted signals across three categories:
<ul>
<li>Structure — heading hierarchy, answer-first formatting, passage length, semantic HTML</li>
<li>Citability — statistics density, named entities, FAQ content, self-contained passages</li>
<li>Authority — schema markup, author signals, internal linking, content depth</li>
</ul>
Every signal is documented at citewp.com/cite-score with research citations for every weight. Unlike competitor “AI scores,” there is no black box — SEO professionals can audit, explain, and defend every recommendation to their clients.
<h4>What’s Included — Free, Forever</h4>
✅ Cite Score — a transparent 100-point AI citation readiness score across 17 documented signals (Structure, Citability, Authority). See the score, the per-signal breakdown, and your top 3 highest-impact fixes — right in the editor and on the dashboard. Every weight is public at citewp.com/cite-score. No black box.
✅ 86 AI crawlers tracked — log visits from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, DeepSeek, and 80+ other verified AI bots across 19 vendors. See what they fetch, which pages get attention, and which published pages no AI bot has ever touched. Filter by bot, filter by date, export to CSV. Most plugins track a handful — CiteWP tracks 86.
✅ AI Blind Spots — instantly surface published content that AI crawlers have never visited, so you know exactly where your coverage gaps are.
✅ Cite Score Over Time — watch your site-wide and per-post citation readiness trend across your chosen window. Confirm your fixes are actually moving the number.
✅ llms.txt generation — auto-generate /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt from your most important content, with cornerstone prioritization. Respects Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO settings automatically, and updates as you publish.
✅ Cite Score in every editor — Gutenberg sidebar plus a universal meta box that brings the score, category breakdown, recommendations, and bot activity to Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Bricks. Check your score without leaving the page.
✅ Schema suggestions + scoring — one-click Article and FAQPage JSON-LD, injected cleanly into the page head (never pasted into your content). Scoring also credits authority-entity schema — Product, Organization, Person, SoftwareApplication, LocalBusiness — so service, product, and landing pages aren’t penalized for not being blog posts. FAQ detection works with Kadence, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Spectra, and HTML5 accordions.
✅ AI recommendations, ranked by points — the dashboard surfaces your highest-impact fixes, grouped by signal and post type, ranked by recoverable Cite Score points. No guessing what to work on next.
✅ Post list column + dashboard widget — a sortable Cite Score column in All Posts and All Pages, plus an at-a-glance widget for your site-wide average, top crawled pages, and AI bot activity.
Everything above is free, forever — no API key, no external account, no per-analysis cost.
<h4>Why no API key?</h4>
Other AI SEO plugins require you to connect an OpenAI or Anthropic API key just to see your score — meaning every analysis costs you money and sends your content to an external server.
CiteWP scores your content locally on your own WordPress server. No API key. No per-analysis cost. No data leaving your site. The full feature set is free, forever.
<h4>Who this is for</h4>
✅ Bloggers and content publishers — your audience is already asking AI for recommendations. Be the source they cite.
✅ SEO professionals and agencies — measure AI citation readiness across client sites with a transparent, auditable rubric you can explain and defend.
✅ Founders and small-business owners — if you own your WordPress site and want to show up in AI search, this is where you start.
✅ SaaS companies and documentation sites — AI engines cite authoritative reference content. Measure whether yours qualifies.
<h4>White-hat by design</h4>
Some AI SEO plugins work by serving a different, “optimized” version of your page to AI crawlers — a technique that’s functionally cloaking and carries real risk under Google’s spam policies.
CiteWP takes the opposite approach: measure your actual content, find the gaps, fix them. Your real page gets better for AI and humans alike. No separate version for bots. No CDN dependency. No cloaking risk.
<h4>Built by CiteWP</h4>
CiteWP is a dedicated AI search optimization tool built specifically for WordPress. Visit citewp.com for documentation, the full scoring rubric, and blog posts on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
