## Description

Citrail audits your site for the signals AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google)
need to read and cite it: robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, JSON-LD schema, canonical
meta tags, and whether your content is readable without relying on JavaScript. The
result is a Health Score from 0 to 100 and a clear checklist grouped by category,
with status indicators and a one-sentence explanation for each check.

When something can be improved, Citrail explains it and offers to apply it with 
one click: it explicitly allows access for known AI bots in your robots.txt, publishes
a basic llms.txt file, and adds JSON-LD schema (Organization and Article) if no 
other SEO plugin is already generating it. A setup wizard guides you step by step
through these improvements, and every change is reversible: you can undo it at any
time from the checklist or from the wizard itself.

Citrail works exclusively with open, public standards — schema.org, the robots.txt
protocol, and the llms.txt convention — exposed through WordPress’s native APIs.
It does not manipulate search rankings, does not promise guaranteed results, and
does not run any third-party code or external scripts on your site. It also automatically
detects whether Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO are active so it doesn’t
duplicate their work.

### Build / compiling the JavaScript

The admin interface is a React application. Its uncompiled source lives in the
 
src/ directory and is bundled into `build/` (the files WordPress actually loads)
with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts), the
official WordPress build tooling, which wraps webpack and Babel with no custom configuration.

Requirements: Node.js 20+ and npm.

To compile `src/` into `build/`:

 1. `npm install` — install the build dependencies listed in `package.json`.
 2. `npm run build` — produce the minified production bundle in `build/`
     (`index.js`,`
    index.asset.php`, `style-index.css`, `style-index-rtl.css`).

For development with an unminified build and file watching, run `npm start`
 instead
of `npm run build`.

Both `src/` and `build/` are shipped inside the distributed plugin ZIP so the
 compiled
code can always be traced back to, and regenerated from, its source.

## FAQ

### What exactly does Citrail do?

It scans your site and calculates a GEO/AEO Health Score (0-100): it checks robots.
txt, sitemap, llms.txt, canonical meta, JSON-LD schema, and whether your content
is readable without JavaScript. When it detects something that can be improved, 
it can apply the fix for you with one click: it explicitly allows AI bots in robots.
txt, publishes a basic llms.txt, and adds JSON-LD schema (Organization and Article).

### Is it compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO?

Yes. Citrail automatically detects whether Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO are active
and doesn’t duplicate their schema. If any of these plugins already generates JSON-
LD schema, Citrail steps aside, marks it as correct in the scan, and doesn’t add
anything on its own.

### Are the changes Citrail applies reversible?

Yes, all of them. Every fix (robots.txt, llms.txt, schema) saves a copy of the previous
state before it’s applied, and you can undo it with one click from the checklist
or the wizard, at any time.

### Does Citrail write directly to my robots.txt file?

No. It uses WordPress’s native `robots_txt` filter to add rules at the moment WordPress
generates the response; it never creates or modifies a physical file. If your site
already has a physical robots.txt file on the server, WordPress serves it directly
and Citrail can’t intervene; in that case, you’ll need to edit it manually.

### Does Citrail slow down my site?

No. The scan only runs when you request it from the admin panel, never during your
visitors’ page views. The checks and fixes it applies are very lightweight and make
no calls to external services.
