<p>MW LLMS Index is a WordPress plugin that automatically generates AI-friendly index files for your website. It creates <code>llms.txt</code> (plain text) and <code>llms.json</code> (structured JSON) files inside <code>wp-content/uploads/mw-llm-index/</code>, making it easy for AI systems to discover and understand your content.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Index Generation</strong>: Automatically generates <code>llms.txt</code> and <code>llms.json</code> files with all your published posts and pages</li>
<li><strong>SEO Plugin Integration</strong>: Seamlessly integrates with popular SEO plugins (Rank Math, Yoast SEO, All in One SEO) to use meta descriptions</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Scheduling</strong>: Choose from daily, weekly, or manual regeneration schedules using WP Cron</li>
<li><strong>AI Bot Logging</strong>: Optional logging of AI bot visits (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) to track when AI systems access your site</li>
<li><strong>REST API Access</strong>: Access your index data programmatically via WordPress REST API</li>
<li><strong>Auto-Generation</strong>: Automatically creates files on activation if they don’t exist</li>
<li><strong>Clean Uninstall</strong>: Removes all generated files and settings when uninstalled</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Technical Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>✔ <strong>WP Cron Integration</strong>: Uses WordPress built-in cron system for scheduled updates</li>
<li>✔ <strong>Editor Compatibility</strong>: Works seamlessly with both Gutenberg and Classic Editor</li>

<p><strong>What is llms.txt?</strong></p>
<p>The <code>llms.txt</code> file is a standardized format for providing AI systems with a structured index of your website’s content. It helps AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity understand what content is available on your site and how to access it.</p>

<ol>
<li>The plugin scans all published posts and pages on your WordPress site</li>
<li>Extracts titles, URLs, and descriptions (from SEO plugins when available)</li>
<li>Generates two files:
<ul>
<li><code>llms.txt</code> – Human-readable plain text format</li>
<li><code>llms.json</code> – Machine-readable JSON format for programmatic access</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Files are automatically updated based on your chosen schedule</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Use Cases:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Help AI systems discover and index your content</li>
<li>Improve AI model understanding of your website structure</li>
<li>Provide structured content metadata for AI training</li>

<p>Better Robots.txt replaces the default WordPress robots.txt workflow with a smarter, structured version you can configure and preview before publishing.</p>
<p>Instead of a blank textarea, you get a guided wizard with presets, plain-language explanations, and a final Review & Save step so you can inspect the generated robots.txt before it goes live.</p>
<p>Built for beginners and advanced users alike, Better Robots.txt helps you control how search engines, AI crawlers, SEO tools, archive bots, bad bots, social preview bots, and other automated agents interact with your site.</p>
<p>Trusted by thousands of WordPress sites, Better Robots.txt is designed for the AI era without resorting to hype, vague promises, or hidden rules.</p>
<p>Better Robots.txt is available in Free, Pro, and Premium editions. The free plugin covers the guided workflow and essential crawl control features, while Pro and Premium unlock additional governance, protection, and AI-ready modules. Some screenshots on the plugin page show features from all three editions.</p>
<h3>A quick overview</h3>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Better robots.txt Video — AI-Ready Crawl Control for WordPress" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1169756981?dnt=1&app_id=122963" width="750" height="372" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe></p>
<h3>Why Better Robots.txt is different</h3>
<p>Most robots.txt plugins fall into one of three categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simple text editor</li>
<li>Virtual robots.txt manager</li>
<li>Single-purpose AI or policy add-on</li>
</ul>
<p>Better Robots.txt goes further.</p>
<p>It gives you a complete, guided crawl control workflow so you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose a preset that matches your goals</li>
<li>Control major crawler categories without writing everything by hand</li>
<li>Keep core WordPress protection rules visible and editable</li>
<li>Clean up low-value crawl paths that waste crawl budget</li>
<li>Generate a cleaner robots.txt output</li>
<li>Preview the final result before saving</li>
</ul>
<h3>What you can control</h3>
<p>Better Robots.txt helps you manage:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search engine visibility</li>
<li>AI and LLM crawler behavior</li>
<li>AI usage signals such as search, ai-input, and ai-train preferences</li>
<li>SEO tool crawlers</li>
<li>Bad bots and abusive crawlers</li>
<li>Archive and Wayback access</li>
<li>Feed crawlers and crawl traps</li>
<li>WooCommerce crawl cleanup</li>
<li>CSS, JavaScript, and image crawling rules</li>
<li>Social media preview crawlers</li>
<li>ads.txt and app-ads.txt allowance</li>
<li>llms.txt generation</li>
<li>Advanced directives such as crawl-delay and custom rules</li>
<li>Final review before publishing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Editions</h3>
<p>Better Robots.txt is available in three editions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Free – Includes the guided setup, the Essential preset, core crawl control features, and the final Review & Save workflow.</li>
<li>Pro – Adds more advanced governance and protection modules, including additional AI, crawler, and cleanup controls.</li>
<li>Premium – Unlocks the most restrictive and advanced protection options, including the Fortress preset and additional high-control modules.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some options shown in the interface are marked Free, Pro, or Premium so users can immediately understand which modules belong to each edition.</p>
<h3>Presets</h3>
<p>Setup starts with four modes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essential – A clean, practical configuration for most websites that want a better robots.txt without complexity.</li>
<li>AI-First – For publishers and content sites that want AI-ready governance without shutting down discovery.</li>
<li>Fortress – For websites that want stronger protection against scraping, archive capture, and unnecessary crawl activity.</li>
<li>Custom – For users who prefer to configure each module manually.</li>
</ul>
<p>For many sites, one preset plus a quick review is enough.</p>
<h3>Built for beginners and experts</h3>
<p>Beginners get:</p>
<ul>
<li>A guided setup instead of a raw robots.txt box</li>
<li>Preset-based configuration</li>
<li>Plain-language explanations for important choices</li>
<li>A safer workflow with a final preview step</li>
</ul>
<p>Advanced users get:</p>
<ul>
<li>Editable core WordPress protection rules</li>
<li>Fine-grained crawler controls by category</li>
<li>WooCommerce-oriented cleanup options</li>
<li>Consolidated output options</li>
<li>Advanced directives and custom rules</li>
<li>A final output they can inspect before publishing</li>
</ul>
<h3>AI-ready, without hype</h3>
<p>Better Robots.txt includes features for modern AI-related crawl governance, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>AI crawler handling</li>
<li>Optional llms.txt support</li>
<li>AI usage signals for compliant systems</li>
<li>Optional machine-readable governance signals for advanced use cases</li>
</ul>
<p>These features help you express how you want automated systems to use your content.</p>
<p>However, Better Robots.txt does not claim to control AI by force. Like robots.txt itself, these signals are most useful with compliant systems and good-faith crawlers.</p>
<h3>What Better Robots.txt is</h3>
<p>Better Robots.txt is:</p>
<ul>
<li>A robots.txt governance plugin for WordPress</li>
<li>A guided configuration workflow instead of a raw text editor</li>
<li>A crawl control layer to reduce wasteful crawling</li>
<li>A practical bridge between SEO, crawl hygiene, and AI-era policy signaling</li>
<li>A way to keep your crawl policy clearer for humans and machines</li>
</ul>
<p>Technical reference for advanced users: Better Robots.txt also maintains a public <a href="https://github.com/GautierDorval/better-robots-txt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc">GitHub repository</a> with product definition, governance notes, and machine-readable artefacts.</p>
<h3>What Better Robots.txt is not</h3>
<p>Better Robots.txt is not:</p>
<ul>
<li>A firewall or Web Application Firewall (WAF)</li>
<li>An anti-scraping enforcement engine</li>
<li>A legal compliance engine</li>
<li>A guarantee that every bot will obey your rules</li>
<li>A replacement for server-level security or access control</li>
</ul>
<p>It helps you publish a clearer crawl policy.</p>
<p>It does not replace infrastructure-level protection.</p>
<h3>Typical use cases</h3>
<p>Use Better Robots.txt if you want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clean up a weak or noisy default robots.txt</li>
<li>Reduce crawl waste on WordPress or WooCommerce</li>
<li>Keep major search engines allowed while restricting other bots</li>
<li>Control whether archive bots can snapshot your site</li>
<li>Publish AI usage preferences more clearly</li>
<li>Keep social preview bots allowed while limiting scrapers</li>
<li>Review the final file before making it live</li>
</ul>
