ADG Markdown For AI Crawlers Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
When a known AI crawler (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and others) requests one of your posts or pages, this plugin returns clean Markdown of the main content on the same URL instead of the full theme HTML — no header, footer, sidebar or scripts. Regular visitors keep seeing your normal site.
It also generates a virtual llms.txt and llms-full.txt — a sitemap-style index of your content for AI tools — served at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt without creating any physical files.
What it does
- Detects AI crawlers by User-Agent (the list is editable in the settings).
- Serves clean Markdown on the same URL with
Content-Type: text/markdown,Vary: User-AgentandX-Robots-Tag: noindex. - Adds machine-readable Schema.org JSON-LD (title, dates, author, cover image, publisher) to the Markdown front matter.
- Generates virtual
/llms.txtand/llms-full.txt. - Caches the converted Markdown in post meta for fast responses; the cache is cleared automatically when a post is edited.
- A “Hide from AI bots” checkbox on every post to exclude it.
Privacy and external services
This plugin does not connect to any external service, send any data off your site, or load any remote scripts. All processing happens on your own server.
Good to know
- No .htaccess edits and no Composer — a built-in, zero-dependency HTMLMarkdown converter is included.
- Does not interfere with SEO plugins, caches, or WooCommerce shop/cart/checkout pages.
- Private, password-protected and unpublished content is never served to bots — access rights are not bypassed.
Pro version
A Pro version is available with bot IP verification (anti-spoofing), bot-visit analytics with CSV export, a one-click self-test, and priority support. See the plugin’s settings page for details. The free version is fully functional on its own and is not time-limited.
