LLMs.txt Generator – AI Visibility

llms.txt is the emerging standard for helping AI assistants understand your website — like robots.txt for search engines, but for ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Most llms.txt plugins generate a static list of links. This plugin goes further: it builds structured, AI-optimised content from your WordPress data — with real product prices, stock status, categories, and short descriptions included out of the box. The Pro API adds capabilities no other plugin offers: per-product drill-down with SKU and specifications, intent routing for 26 customer question types, and auto-generated comparison tables. What makes this plugin different?

• WooCommerce-aware from the start: Free mode already includes product names, prices, categories, and stock status — not just page links
• Dynamic serving via rewrite rules: No physical file to manage. /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt are served directly through WordPress and cached for one hour
• Auto-regeneration: Content updates trigger asynchronous regeneration via WP-Cron — zero manual maintenance
• REST API webhook: External systems (CI/CD, cron, headless setups) can trigger regeneration via POST /wp-json/llmstxt/v1/regenerate
• Three Pro tiers: Pick the size that matches your site — Solo for small sites, Business for shops, Agency for large operations
• Fully translatable: Complete German (de_DE) and English support, all strings served via wp_localize_script

Free features

• Generates llms.txt from WordPress pages, posts, and WooCommerce products with prices and stock status
• Serves /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt via WordPress rewrite rules — no physical file needed
• Auto-regenerates when posts or products are saved

Pro features (via llmstxtgenerator.de API) The Pro mode offloads generation to a dedicated crawling API. This enables features that require full-page analysis beyond what WordPress data alone provides:

• Product Drill-Down: Price, SKU, specifications, and variants extracted per product page — AI assistants can answer "How much does X cost?" with your real price
• Intent Routing: 26 customer question types (price, comparison, availability, installation, warranty…) mapped to the correct pages on your site
• Competitor comparison tables: Auto-generated from your product catalog so AI assistants can recommend your products in comparison queries
• 5 file formats: llms.txt, llms-full.txt, robots.txt snippet, JSON-LD, CSV — covering every AI integration scenario
• Priority email support

What is llms.txt? llms.txt is an open standard (llmstxt.org) — a structured Markdown file in your site root that tells AI systems who you are, what you offer, and where to find your key content. Early adopters gain a significant advantage as AI assistants increasingly cite structured sources over unstructured web pages. WooCommerce support When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically includes your product catalog with names, prices, categories, stock status, and short descriptions. WooCommerce system pages (cart, checkout, my account) are automatically excluded. Privacy In free mode, no data leaves your server. In Pro mode, only your public website URL is transmitted to the llmstxtgenerator.de API to perform crawling. No personal data is processed or stored. The plugin is GDPR-compliant.

Minimum requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or higher
• PHP 8.0 or higher

1.4.8

• Updated screenshots to reflect v1.4.7+ UI: Pro Business active dashboard, settings panel with custom sections and URL exclusions, and the new AI Visibility Score introduced in 1.4.0.
• Removed outdated WooCommerce-section and tier-comparison screenshots — both are now covered by the main dashboard view.
• Removed orphaned screenshot-5 reference that had no corresponding image file.

1.4.7

• Layout fix: AI Visibility Score card moved to END of main column (after generator settings) — llms.txt generator is the primary feature, score is supplementary.

1.4.6

• Spec-conform main card restored: AI Visibility Score is back as the main card above the file status section, exactly as designed in the v1.4.0 spec — SVG half-circle dial on the left, five sub-score bars on the right (Schema.org Coverage 30%, llms.txt Health 25%, AI Crawler Access 15%, Content Quality 15% Pro, noindex Compliance 15%), and the top three recommendations below as boxes with action buttons (Read guide / Re-generate now / Show snippet).
• Card sized to ~380–420px so file status, generator form and the llms.txt / llms-full.txt URL list stay visible in the same 1200×800 viewport without scrolling.
• The minimal sidebar widget from 1.4.5 is removed — the sidebar contains only the Pro card, "Your llms.txt URLs", and Documentation again.

1.4.5

• Plugin focus restored: AI Visibility Score is no longer the dominant element on the plugin page. The Visibility Score card has been moved out of the main content area into the right sidebar (where the Pro card, "Your llms.txt URLs", and Documentation cards live), as a small widget showing the score, tier, top recommendation, and a "Learn more" link.
• The plugin page now opens with the file status (llms.txt is live / size / modified / pages count), generator form, and llms.txt / llms-full.txt URL list immediately visible — exactly as in versions before 1.4.0.
• Sub-score bars and detail breakdown were removed from the sidebar widget — they belong on a dedicated detail page (planned for 1.5.x).

1.4.4

• Spec-conform layout: Visibility Score card now matches the original spec — half-circle dial on the left, five sub-score bars on the right, and the top three recommendations as one-line items below. Card height kept compact (around 320px) so the file status, generator form, llms.txt and llms-full.txt sections stay visible above the fold without scrolling.
• Removed the v1.4.3 "Show details" toggle — full content is shown immediately, in a smaller and tighter format. Sub-score bars are 6px high, recommendation rows are single-line with truncation.

1.4.3

• UX rebuild: AI Visibility Score card now opens in a compact single-row view (score, tier, recommendation count, refresh, "Show details"). The full sub-scores and recommendations only appear after the user clicks "Show details". This puts the file status, generator form, llms.txt and llms-full.txt sections back at the top of the screen where users expect them.
• Score card detail view restyled: thinner sub-score bars, smaller recommendation rows, footer condensed to a single line.

1.4.2

• Layout fix: AI Visibility Score card was rendered inside the page header flex container, which pushed file status, generator form and llms.txt sections below the visible area. The card is now a standalone section between header and main layout — all existing plugin features (llms.txt status, generator, Pro key, WooCommerce integration) are visible again.
• AJAX fix: Re-generate / Generate-now buttons in the Visibility Score recommendations returned "Network error". The button JS sent the security nonce under the wrong parameter name (_nonce instead of nonce), causing WordPress to reject the request with 403. Aligned the Visibility Score JS and the refresh-score handler with the plugin nonce convention.

1.4.1

• Hotfix: Fixed PHP fatal error on the AI Visibility Score card. The template called a helper function before its conditional declaration, causing a critical-error notice on first render. The helper now uses the existing static class method.

1.4.0

• NEW: AI Visibility Score — Lighthouse-style 0-100 score with 5 sub-scores (Schema.org Coverage, llms.txt Health, AI Crawler Access, Content Quality, noindex Compliance)
• NEW: Smart Recommendations — top 3 actionable fixes with one-click action buttons (re-generate, copy robots.txt snippet, etc.)
• NEW: Multi-SEO-plugin noindex detection — recognises Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO and excludes flagged pages from llms.txt
• NEW: WooCommerce Schema.org sampling — checks up to 10 products for valid Product schema with price
• NEW: Pro mode calls llmstxtgenerator.de API for full Content Quality crawl (10 sample pages: titles, meta, H1, alt-tags, OG-tags)
• Improved: Score is cached for 6 hours; manual refresh button bypasses cache
• Improved: Free mode delivers a real local score (no paywall) — re-distributes Pro-only weight across other sub-scores

1.3.0

• Added: Three Pro tiers (Solo €4.90, Business €9.90, Agency €19.90 per month) — plugin auto-detects which tier your licence belongs to
• Added: Tier-aware admin sidebar — shows active tier name (Pro Solo / Pro Business / Agency) and URL limit per generation after key verification
• Added: New options stored after Pro key verification (pro_plan, pro_tier, pro_max_urls, pro_email_mask, pro_verified_at) so the dashboard can render tier-specific UI without re-querying the API
• Added: Tier overview card in upsell sidebar — visualises Solo/Business/Agency at a glance with prices and URL limits
• Changed: Upgrade-CTA price updated from "from €7.90/mo" to "from €4.90/mo" (Solo entry tier)
• Changed: Pro mode label clarifies that Solo, Business or Agency keys are all accepted
• Improved: Existing customers with previous Pro/Agency keys (€7.90 / €29) continue to work unchanged — backward compatibility preserved at the licensing API
• Internal: New localized strings (tierSolo, tierBusiness, tierAgency, urlLimit, saving) added to wp_localize_script for translators

1.2.7

• Added: noindex detection — pages/posts marked noindex in Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, or All in One SEO are automatically excluded from llms.txt
• Added: URL exclusion list — manually exclude specific URLs or path patterns (supports wildcards, e.g. /shop/*)
• Added: robots.txt Disallow respect — optionally exclude all paths blocked by robots.txt Disallow rules for User-agent: *
• Fixed: Pro licence key is now automatically saved and settings reloaded after successful key verification — no separate "Save Settings" click required
• Fixed: Plugin URLs corrected to non-www canonical (llmstxtgenerator.de/agb/ and llmstxtgenerator.de/datenschutz/)

1.2.5

• Fixed: German umlauts and all non-ASCII characters now display correctly — Apache serves text/plain as ISO-8859-1 by default; plugin now inserts a FilesMatch rule into .htaccess on activation and on every generate to declare UTF-8 charset for llms.txt and llms-full.txt
• Fixed: .htaccess rule is removed cleanly on plugin deactivation and uninstall

1.2.4

• Fixed: Plugin now always writes physical llms.txt and llms-full.txt to the WordPress site root so AI crawlers and external checkers (e.g. llmstxtgenerator.de) can access them directly — independent of rewrite rules or caching plugins
• Fixed: Uninstall now also removes root copies of llms.txt and llms-full.txt

1.2.3

• Fixed: Middle dot (·) used by SEO plugins as tagline separator no longer appears in output
• Fixed: Robust fallback in title cleaning: uses both regex and explicit str_replace to handle all separator variants (–, —, |, -)
• Fixed: Page and post titles stripped of SEO-plugin-appended site-name suffix
• Fixed: HTML entities in WooCommerce prices and descriptions decoded correctly
• Fixed: /llms-full.txt now cached in free mode
• Fixed: Free mode reports error when uploads directory not writable
• Fixed: Pro mode API URL corrected (www → non-www) to prevent POST redirect stripping auth headers
• Fixed: Key verification correctly rejects invalid keys

1.2.0

• Added: External services documentation in readme (llmstxtgenerator.de API)
• Removed: "Write physical file to site root" option — llms.txt is served dynamically via rewrite rules; no ABSPATH writes required

1.1.0

• Fixed: Pro mode "Generate Now" now uses correct API endpoint and response format
• Added: Full German (de_DE) translation for all UI strings, including JavaScript labels
• Added: uninstall.php for clean removal of all plugin data
• Changed: File I/O now uses WP_Filesystem API instead of direct PHP functions

• Changed: Minimum PHP version raised to 8.0 to reflect actual code requirements
• Improved: All JavaScript labels are now served via wp_localize_script — fully translatable
• Improved: Plugin header updated with all recommended fields

1.0.0

• Initial release
• Free standalone mode for WordPress + WooCommerce
• Pro API mode with product drill-down
• Auto-regeneration on content changes
• Custom Markdown sections support
• REST API webhook endpoint for external triggers
