Block AI Crawlers

This WordPress plugin helps prevent AI crawlers from using your content as training data for their products. By updating your site's robots.txt, it blocks common AI crawlers and scrapers, aiming to protect your content from being used in the training of Large Language Models (LLMs).

Features

Blocks AI Crawlers

Includes:

Experimental Meta Tags

The plugin adds the "noai, noimageai" directive to your site's meta tags, instructing AI bots not to use your content in their datasets. Please note that these tags are experimental and have not been standardized.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin zip file.
  2. Go to your WordPress admin panel.
  3. Navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  4. Choose the zip file and click "Install Now."
  5. Activate the plugin.

Usage

After activation, the plugin will automatically update your robots.txt and add the necessary meta tags. No further configuration is required, but you can check the settings page for a full list of blocked crawlers.

Limitations

While this plugin aims to block specified crawlers, it cannot guarantee complete protection against all forms of scraping, as some bots may disregard robots.txt directives.
