md4AI

The plugin checks the incoming HTTP User-Agent string against an internal, pre-defined list of known AI and large language model (LLM) crawlers (e.g., gptbot, claudebot, google-extended, perplexitybot, etc.).

No. Regular users and traditional search engine crawlers (like standard Googlebot) will continue to receive your standard HTML page. This functionality is specifically targeted at AI agents that are known to utilize data for LLMs and generative AI.

The plugin outputs:

• Post Title (as an H1)
• Meta (URL, Date, Author)
• The main Post Content (converted from HTML to Markdown)
• A list of Categories and Tags (as H2 headers)

No. The plugin runs early in the request process and immediately stops execution (exit;) after serving the Markdown content, preventing the loading of the full WordPress theme and template files for the detected bot.
