Description
Kedrel AI Search Readiness Checker checks whether your own site is reachable and citation-friendly for the AI systems people now use instead of (or alongside) Google — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini — and shows an AI Readiness Score directly in your WordPress dashboard. No external tools, no signup required for the Lite check.
- AI Readiness Score (0–100) — calculated from your own robots.txt, llms.txt, and a handful of on-page signals AI systems use to understand and cite a page
- Dashboard widget — see your score at a glance every time you log in
- AI crawler check — flags if GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Claude), PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended (Gemini) are blocked in your own robots.txt
- llms.txt detection — checks for this emerging, optional standard some sites use to guide AI crawlers
- On-page signals — FAQ schema, meta description, and heading structure, all of which help AI answer engines quote you directly
- Re-scan on demand — results are cached (default 12 hours) but you can force a fresh scan anytime
- “Get Full AI Visibility Audit” — a clearly-marked optional upgrade path to a complete AI visibility audit on the plugin author’s website (webauditaitool.com). That site is operated by the plugin author and is not affiliated with any third-party “WebAudit” product or trademark.
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin
- Open AI Readiness in your WordPress admin menu, or check the dashboard widget
- The plugin fetches your own homepage, robots.txt, and llms.txt to compute your score
- Fix what’s flagged, or click Get Full AI Visibility Audit for the complete report
External services
This plugin fetches three URLs on your own site — your homepage, /robots.txt, and /llms.txt (all via wp_remote_get() to your site’s own domain) — to compute the AI Readiness Score shown in your dashboard. No data from these fetches is sent anywhere; the requests stay between your server and itself.
The “Get Full AI Visibility Audit” button is a plain outbound link, followed only if you click it. It opens the plugin author’s website (https://webauditaitool.com/audit by default, configurable under AI Readiness Settings) in a new tab, passing your homepage URL and Lite AI Readiness Score as URL query parameters so the destination page can be pre-filled. No request is made to this service unless you click the button.
The destination site is operated by the plugin author. See their terms of service (https://webauditaitool.com/terms) and privacy policy (https://webauditaitool.com/privacy). This plugin and that site are not affiliated with any third-party “WebAudit” trademark or project.

FAQ
-
Does this scan other websites?
-
No — Kedrel AI Search Readiness Checker only fetches pages on your own site: your homepage, your
robots.txt, and yourllms.txt. It never fetches anything from another domain. -
Why would an AI crawler be blocked in my robots.txt?
-
Some SEO plugins, security plugins, or “block AI scrapers” settings add
Disallowrules for bots like GPTBot without you realizing it. That may be intentional (some site owners don’t want their content used for AI training) — this plugin just reports what it finds so you can decide. -
What’s llms.txt?
-
An emerging, optional convention (similar in spirit to robots.txt) some sites use to give AI crawlers a curated summary of their most important content. It’s not yet a widely required standard, so a missing llms.txt is a minor note, not a critical issue.
-
Where does “Get Full AI Visibility Audit” send me?
-
To the plugin author’s full-audit service at webauditaitool.com/audit by default. That destination can be changed under AI Readiness Settings. The plugin is not affiliated with any third-party product using the name “WebAudit”.
