## Description

The **AWM Bot Redirector** is a technical SEO and infrastructure optimization plugin
designed for the modern AI-driven web. As AI agents like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and 
others increasingly crawl the web to ingest data, serving them heavy, JavaScript-
laden HTML is inefficient and costly. This plugin solves that problem by identifying
these agents and transparently redirecting them to the AWM “Dual-Stack” endpoint.

Once redirected, the AWM protocol generates a lightweight, structured Markdown manifest
of your content. This not only makes it significantly easier for LLMs and AI agents
to understand and index your site but also enables **Scale-to-Zero** infrastructure
performance. By offloading the rendering burden for bot traffic, you reduce server
compute requirements and improve overall site performance for human visitors.

The plugin features deep integration with industry-standard security tools including
Shield Security, Wordfence, and All In One WP Security (AIOS), ensuring that bot
detection is accurate and fake crawlers are properly identified before any redirection
occurs.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `awm-bot-redirector` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. The plugin begins working immediately to detect and redirect known AI agents.

## FAQ

### Does this redirect affect my human visitors?

No. The detection logic is specifically tuned to identify AI crawlers and scrapers.
Human users browsing via standard web browsers will continue to see your site exactly
as intended without any redirection.

### How does this help with “Scale-to-Zero”?

By serving lightweight Markdown instead of full HTML to bots, you drastically reduce
the CPU and memory usage required to handle crawl traffic. This allows your hosting
environment to stay in a lower-cost, low-resource state more frequently.

### Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The plugin hooks into the `template_redirect` action at a very high priority,
allowing it to intercept bot requests before most caching engines or heavy database
queries are even triggered.
