详情介绍:
- Recognises 38 bots by user agent: AI search crawlers, AI assistants fetching a page at a user's request, AI training crawlers, search engines and SEO tools.
- Counts people who click through from an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude and others), also on sites with page caching.
- Visits per day and per category for the last 7 or 30 days.
- No cookies, no IP addresses stored.
- Three presets for robots.txt: maximum visibility, visible in AI search but no AI training, or block all AI crawlers. Covers 17 AI crawlers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google-Extended (Gemini), Apple, Meta, xAI (Grok), Mistral and Common Crawl.
- Content Signals (contentsignals.org), derived from your preset.
- Proxy/CDN detection: recognises Cloudflare and warns when its "Block AI bots", managed robots.txt or HTML caching overrides your choices or affects the statistics.
- Structured data (schema.org JSON-LD): name, description, logo, address, phone, email, opening hours, company and VAT numbers. Choose from 10 organisation types.
- Works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math: the organisation is merged into their schema graph instead of adding a second one.
- llms.txt (llmstxt.org): a short Markdown summary of your business, built from the wizard, with live preview. Served dynamically, or written as a physical file for servers that handle .txt files themselves.
- Shortcodes and a widget for your contact details:
[code2_beacon_contact]and[code2_beacon_address].
- AI-readiness score with concrete tips to improve.
- Optional basic hardening: disable XML-RPC, hide version numbers, block user enumeration, security headers, hide the file editor and more. Everything is off until you switch it on.
安装:
- Install the plugin from Plugins → Add New, or upload the
code2-beaconfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin. The wizard opens automatically (menu: Code2 Beacon).
- Choose your language, fill in your organisation and location, choose an AI crawler preset and publish.

常见问题:
Does Code2 Beacon work alongside Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
Yes. Code2 Beacon replaces the organisation in their schema graph, so there is one consistent organisation instead of two.
Does this block AI?
Only if you want it to. The presets let you stay visible in AI search services while blocking AI training, or block all AI crawlers.
Do the statistics use cookies or store IP addresses?
No. Bot visits are recognised by user agent. People who arrive from an AI assistant are counted by a small script that reads the referrer; no cookies are set and no IP addresses are stored.
My site runs behind Cloudflare. Does that work?
Yes. Code2 Beacon detects Cloudflare and warns when Cloudflare's "Block AI bots", managed robots.txt or HTML caching affects your settings or statistics.
My server serves /llms.txt itself and shows a 404.
Choose "Physical file" in the AI & crawlers step. Code2 Beacon then writes llms.txt to the web root and keeps it up to date.
Does Code2 Beacon add a credit or link to my site?
No. An optional "Generated by Code2 Beacon" line in llms.txt can be switched on in the AI & crawlers step; it is off by default.
I used the earlier "AI Beacon" plugin from code2.nl.
Code2 Beacon is its successor. On activation it copies the settings and recorded visits of the earlier plugin once; deactivate and delete the earlier plugin afterwards. The shortcodes are now [code2_beacon_contact] and [code2_beacon_address].
更新日志:
- Information about the separate Pro add-on (a short list and a link) in a few steps, on the statistics page and on the Help page.
- Renamed to Code2 Beacon - AI Visibility Toolkit (folder code2-beacon). Settings and statistics of the earlier "AI Beacon" plugin are copied once on activation.
- Statistics: choose the period shown on the dashboard (7 or 30 days); visits are kept for 30 days.
- The monthly email summary has been removed.
- Site check: all tips are shown.
- The click-through counter is now a separate script file (assets/referral.js); the contact block styles are loaded through WordPress.
- "Hide the file editor" now removes the editor capabilities instead of defining DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT.
- Fixed: turning off "By appointment only" now shows the opening hours straight away, without saving first.
- Settings stored by an add-on are kept when saving.
- First release.
