Protect Your Content from AI Scraping
This plugin helps you 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).

The plugin adds the “noai, noimageai” direct…
Great plugin, used it with the opposite intention; i.e., to quickly obtain a list of AI crawlers to later allow on a website 😉
Seems to do what it does, and let’s hope as many sites and companies would obey the robots.txt file. I did have to remove or rename my hand-typed robots.txt file for this work, but after that, I am very happy with the results.
My only “issue” with the newly created robots.txt file is that it includes extra lines like the Sitemap line that I want to change, but this may or may not be related to this plugin and I’ll figure out how to change those other parts of the robots.txt.
Anyway, I like using this plugin together with the “Disabled Source, Disabled Right Click and Content Protection” plugin. Very happy with the results these two plugins did for my Woocommerce store!
Really appreciate this plugin. Have had it for about 1 month, great to see new updates getting pushed out. The one feature would love to see is how to append or edit to the virtual robots.txt file. Tried using “Block AI Crawlers” plugin in conjunction with the plugin “Virtual Robots.txt” and it’s one or the other, can’t use both. “Virtual Robots.txt” overrides “Block AI Crawlers”.
A simple plugin that asks (via the WordPress robot.txt file) multiple AI crawlers to leave your site alone. Just works and saves much trouble manually updating the robots.txt file.
Does what it says on the tin. Very much appreciated, thank you!
