FAQ
-
Does this plugin conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
-
No. The meta description fallback automatically detects Yoast (
WPSEO_Frontend) and Rank Math (RANK_MATH_VERSION) and skips output when either is active. Schema markup from this plugin is additive. -
What is llms.txt?
-
It is a plain-text file placed at your site root that lists your most important URLs in a format designed for AI language models — similar to
sitemap.xmlbut purpose-built for LLM crawlers. See the llms.txt standard at llmstxt.org. -
What is the [geo_lite_answer] shortcode?
-
Wrap any paragraph or summary in
[geo_lite_answer]Your answer here.[/geo_lite_answer]to render a visually styled Answer Capsule. AI systems preferentially extract clearly delimited answer blocks. Enable the feature in Settings first. -
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. All front-end output is lightweight: a few lines of JSON-LD in
<head>and an optional freshness paragraph. There are no external HTTP requests on page load. -
What AI crawlers are allowed in robots.txt?
-
GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and cohere-ai.
