Transform your WordPress site for the Agentic Web. Enhance discoverability and conversions by AI Agents.

== Description ==

AI agents are becoming the new browsers and web surfers. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous they'll begin to make up the vast majority of website traffic, browsing and even purchasing products online.
Already today, popular AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity increasingly search and interact with content on the web. AI Ready is a suite of tools for optimizing your website for AI discoverability and comprehension, ultimately leading to increased traffic and conversions.

* **llms.txt Generation**

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is llms.txt? =

llms.txt is an emerging standard for AI agent navigation, similar to robots.txt but specifically designed for AI language models and chatbots. It helps AI agents better understand and navigate your website content.

= Does this plugin send data to external services? =

No. AI-Ready Core works completely locally with no external dependencies. All processing happens on your server, and no data is sent to external services.

= Will this affect my site's performance? =

The plugin is designed to be extremely lightweight and uses intelligent caching. The llms.txt generation process only runs when content is updated, and diagnostics are run on-demand.

= Is this compatible with caching plugins? =

Yes, AI-Ready Core works with popular WordPress caching plugins and includes proper cache invalidation when content is updated.

= Does this work with multilingual sites? =

Yes, the plugin is translation-ready and can handle multilingual content. The llms.txt generator will include content in all available languages.
