Better Robots.txt Premium 3.0.1
Description
Better Robots.txt Premium is a WordPress plugin that helps you manage how robots, AI crawlers, and LLMs interact with your site. It lets you control which bots can crawl, train, or quote your content using per-crawler rules. Instead of manual robots.txt edits, the plugin provides a guided setup that produces a precise, machine-readable policy. It’s designed to support both SEO needs and emerging AI indexing or training workflows with a clear, hands-off configuration.
By covering robots.txt and llms.txt, Better Robots.txt Premium gives site owners and teams one place to define bot behavior and reduce unintended access to content. This can be especially useful when you want stronger control over data exposure while keeping search engine discovery aligned with your goals.
