## Description
RankReady is a WordPress plugin built for the AI search layer — the answers ChatGPT,
Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews show before anyone reaches a
blue link. Drop it in alongside your existing SEO plugin (Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO—
any of them) and start showing up in AI answers and citations. **No conflicts. No
replacement. Zero frontend bloat.**
[Visit the official RankReady page ](https://store.posimyth.com/plugins/rankready/?ref=rankreadyreadme)
Traditional SEO plugins optimize for Google’s classic results. RankReady adds the
layer above them: the AI SEO signals — Google’s Open Knowledge Format (OKF), llms.
txt, FAQ schema, Markdown endpoints, AI crawler controls — that decide whether AI
engines read and cite your content. This is generative engine optimization (GEO)
and answer engine optimization (AEO) for WordPress, built to work with the SEO plugin
you already use.
### A quick walkthrough of the whole plugin.
Built by [POSIMYTH Inc.](https://posimyth.com/?ref=rankreadyreadme) — the team behind
The Plus Addons for Elementor, NexterWP, and UiChemy.
### Coexists with your SEO plugin — zero frontend impact
Install RankReady, optionally pick an LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or
DeepSeek) for the AI Summary and FAQ generators, and you’re set. It auto-detects
your active SEO plugin and **never emits duplicate schema** — your existing Yoast
or Rank Math setup keeps working exactly as before. All AI generation runs in the
WordPress admin, so there are no API calls on page load, no third-party scripts,
and no extra requests for your visitors. Core Web Vitals are unaffected.
### llms.txt — the AI-native sitemap
RankReady serves the [llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org) standard at `/llms.txt` (
a curated index of your best content) and `/llms-full.txt` (the full content concatenated
as Markdown). AI crawlers read these files first to understand your site. Configurable
post types, max post count, category and tag exclusions, and a per-domain brand
identity (site name, summary, about section) you control from the **AI Crawlers**
tab. Multilingual sites get hreflang Link headers when WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress,
Weglot, or GTranslate is detected.
### AI Summary generator with Speakable schema
Generate “Key Takeaways” for any post or page via your chosen LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic
Claude, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek). The summary injects above your content as a
styled block with **Speakable schema** — the JSON-LD that voice assistants read
aloud. Use the Regenerate button in the post editor, the Gutenberg block, or the
Elementor widget. **Unlimited manual generations.**
### FAQ schema generator with DataForSEO
A strong signal for AI Overviews. RankReady can query DataForSEO for the real “People
Also Ask” questions ranking for your post’s focus keyword, then has your chosen
LLM write the answers. Output is FAQPage JSON-LD — the structured data Google AI
Overviews and Perplexity frequently cite over plain article text. Don’t use DataForSEO?
Type your own questions and let the LLM answer them. **Unlimited manual generations.**
Setup guide in the FAQ section below.
### Author Box with basic E-E-A-T schema
E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is what AI models
use to decide which sources to trust. RankReady ships a basic Author Box — name,
job title, employer, bio, headshot, and basic sameAs links — with Article, Speakable,
and FAQPage schema. It auto-detects Rank Math, Yoast, and AIOSEO and skips duplicate
output. Display it anywhere via the Gutenberg block or the Elementor widget.
### Markdown endpoints for AI agents
Every published post and page is served as clean Markdown at `/post-slug.md` with
YAML frontmatter (title, author, dates). AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT,
custom clients — read Markdown faster than HTML. Content negotiation via `Accept:
text/markdown` lets crawlers fetch the format they prefer with no URL changes.
### Open Knowledge Format (OKF) — Google’s standard for AI agents
[Google’s Open Knowledge Format](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog)(
OKF v0.1) is a vendor-neutral way to hand your whole site to AI agents as a clean,
linked bundle of Markdown — instead of making them scrape your HTML. Turn it on
from the AI Crawlers tab and RankReady serves a complete OKF bundle at `/okf/`:
* `/okf/index.md` — a manifest of every page, grouped by type, each linked to its
concept file
* `/okf/{slug}.md` — one Markdown concept per post, tagged with type, description,
canonical URL and tags
* `/okf/log.md` — a dated change history
* One-click `.zip` export for upload to Google Cloud Knowledge Catalog or a Git
repository
The bundle is generated entirely on your own server (nothing is sent to Google or
anyone else), refreshes automatically whenever you publish or edit, and respects
your noindex and per-post exclusion settings — noindexed content never enters the
bundle.
### MCP via the WordPress Abilities API
RankReady registers read-only abilities with the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)
through the WordPress Abilities API (`wp_register_ability()`). On WordPress 7.0
these are surfaced by the official MCP Adapter — no bundled MCP server, no extra
service to run.
### Insights — AI referrals, bot activity, freshness
The **Insights** tab gives you real, server-side analytics with no third-party scripts:
* **Training & Citation Bots** — Which AI crawlers fetched which pages (GPTBot,
ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, and more). Each citation-
bot hit is a live AI answer that retrieved your page.
* **Real AI Referrals** — Humans clicking through from chatgpt.com, perplexity.
ai, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, and copilot.microsoft.com, tracked via the
HTTP Referer header.
* **Content Freshness scanner** — Buckets posts into Stale, Going stale, and Fresh,
with one-click `dateModified` refresh to signal recency to AI crawlers.
All counts are stored locally in your own tables — never sent to POSIMYTH.
### 31 AI crawler controls + auto robots.txt
Granular allow/block toggles for **31 AI bots**: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot,
ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended,
Bytespider, CCBot, FacebookBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Applebot-Extended, DuckAssistBot,
YouBot, AI2Bot, Diffbot, Cohere-ai, Kagibot, and more. Auto-syncs your choices to`
robots.txt` — both the WordPress virtual `robots.txt` and a physical `ABSPATH/robots.
txt` if another plugin intercepts the URL. Plus Content Signals (`ai-train`, `search`,`
ai-input` directives per [contentsignals.org](https://contentsignals.org)).
### Cache compatibility + Diagnostics
RankReady persists cache-bypass entries to each cache plugin’s stored configuration
so server-level caches honour the bypass before PHP runs — tested with WP Rocket,
LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, SG Optimizer,
Hummingbird, Cache Enabler, Comet Cache, Swift Performance, NitroPack, Perfmatters,
Cloudflare APO, Pantheon, Kinsta, and WP Engine. The **Diagnostics** card runs live
endpoint probes, detects active SEO plugins, checks rewrite rules and REST routes,
scans for cache conflicts, and gives you a one-click plain-text report for support—
every failure ships with a one-line fix.
### Coming soon
A companion add-on (in development) will layer advanced AI SEO automation on top
of the free build:
* Auto-generate AI Summaries and FAQs on publish
* Bulk-generate summaries and FAQs across your whole library
* HowTo and ItemList JSON-LD
* Advanced Person / E-E-A-T schema (credentials, education, certifications, memberships,
awards, Wikidata / ORCID / Scholar / LinkedIn, editorial & fact-check policies,
Author Trust Panel)
* Custom post type support beyond posts and pages
* Headless / WPGraphQL API for decoupled front ends
These appear as “Coming soon” placeholders in the plugin and ship no code in the
free build. Everything listed above the “Coming soon” heading is fully free, with
no caps on manual generation.

### Privacy & Third-Party Services
RankReady is privacy-respecting by default. It runs with **no telemetry, no analytics,
and no automatic “phone home”** — your API keys are stored only in your own `wp_options`
table. The **only** time the plugin transmits anything to POSIMYTH is if you tick
the optional “Email me AI SEO tips” checkbox during onboarding (documented below).
Leave it unchecked and nothing is ever sent to POSIMYTH.
The plugin contacts third-party services **only** when you explicitly enter API
credentials AND trigger a generation action. Each service is opt-in and uses **your
own API key**:
* **OpenAI** ([Terms of Use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) · [Privacy Policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy))—
When you generate an AI Summary or FAQ with OpenAI as your provider, the post’s
title and body text are sent to `https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions`
using your own API key. The generated response is stored as post meta on your
site. Nothing is sent without an explicit click from you.
* **Anthropic Claude** ([Terms of Use](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms)·
[Privacy Policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy)) — When Anthropic is
your provider, the same post text is sent to `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages`
using your own API key. Same opt-in trigger; same one-shot use.
* **Google Gemini** ([API Terms](https://ai.google.dev/terms) · [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy))—
When Gemini is your provider, the same post text is sent to `https://generativelanguage.
googleapis.com/v1beta/models/:generateContent` using your own API key.
* **DeepSeek** ([Terms of Use](https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-terms-of-use.html)·
[Privacy Policy](https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-policy.html))—
When DeepSeek is your provider, the same post text is sent to `https://api.deepseek.
com/chat/completions` using your own API key.
* **DataForSEO** ([Terms of Service](https://dataforseo.com/terms-of-service) ·
[Privacy Policy](https://dataforseo.com/privacy-policy)) — When you trigger the
FAQ Generator, the post’s focus keyword is sent to `https://api.dataforseo.com/
v3/serp/google/organic/live/advanced` using your own DataForSEO Login plus Password.
Only the keyword string is sent, not the article text. Discovered questions are
stored as post meta on your site.
One optional service is POSIMYTH’s own, and is the single exception to “your own
API key”:
* **POSIMYTH — RankReady tips list** ([Terms & Conditions](https://store.posimyth.com/terms-conditions/)·
[Privacy Policy](https://store.posimyth.com/privacy-policy/)) — **Only if you
tick the optional “Email me AI SEO tips” checkbox during onboarding**, your email
address (and your WordPress profile first name, if set) is sent once to POSIMYTH
at `https://store.posimyth.com/` to subscribe you to the RankReady tips email
list. Leave the box unchecked and nothing is sent. No site content, analytics,
or usage data is ever transmitted, and you can unsubscribe from any email.
Beyond the services listed above, no endpoints are contacted. The plugin never sends
data on its own initiative — every outbound request is the direct result of an explicit
administrator action (entering an API key, clicking Generate, or ticking the tips
opt-in).

## FAQ
### Will RankReady conflict with Rank Math, Yoast, or AIOSEO?
No. RankReady is designed to work **alongside** Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO,
SEOPress, SEO Framework, and Slim SEO. Before injecting any schema, it checks if
another schema-generating plugin is active. If yes, it skips its own output or merges
fields into the existing schema graph via documented filters. Verifiable with Google’s
Rich Results Test — no duplicate Article, Person, or FAQPage nodes.
### How does RankReady actually work?
Three layers: (1) it serves **discovery files** (`/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt`, `/
post-slug.md`) that AI crawlers read to find your content faster; (2) it adds **
AI-specific schema** (FAQPage, Speakable, Article JSON-LD) that AI engines cite;(
3) it gives you **controls** over which AI bots see your content, plus Insights
analytics on which ones already do. It also registers read-only MCP abilities through
the WordPress Abilities API so AI agents can discover your content.
### Will this slow down my site?
No. All AI generation happens in the WordPress admin (not on page load). Schema
and discovery headers add a few hundred bytes per page. The llms.txt and robots.
txt files are cached via a 10-minute transient with `stale-while-revalidate`. Page
Speed Insights and Core Web Vitals: unaffected.
### Do I need an AI provider API key?
Only if you want to use the **AI Summary** or **FAQ** generators. The llms.txt generator,
Markdown endpoints, AI crawler controls, Article schema, Author Box, AI referral
tracking, content freshness scanner, and MCP abilities all work without any API
key.
### Are there usage limits or monthly caps?
**No caps.** Manual AI Summary generation and FAQ generation are unlimited. You
pay only your own LLM API usage (typically $0.001 to $0.01 per generation). All
features in the free build work with no limits.
### Which AI provider should I pick?
All four work great. Practical guidance:
* **OpenAI** (`gpt-4o-mini`, `gpt-5`) — Best all-rounder, widest model choice,
predictable output. Recommended default. Pay-as-you-go at platform.openai.com.
* **Anthropic Claude** (`claude-sonnet-4`, `claude-opus-4`) — Strongest at long-
form summaries and faithful citations. Recommended for long posts (3,000+ words).
Console at console.anthropic.com.
* **Google Gemini** (`gemini-2.5-flash`, `gemini-2.5-pro`) — Generous free tier(
up to 1,500 requests/day on Flash). Recommended to test before paying. Get a
key at aistudio.google.com.
* **DeepSeek** (`deepseek-v4-flash`, `deepseek-v4-pro`) — Cheapest paid option,
open-source models. Recommended for high-volume sites. Sign up at platform.deepseek.
com.
You can switch providers at any time without losing existing summaries or FAQs.
### How do I set up DataForSEO for the FAQ Generator?
The FAQ Generator uses DataForSEO to discover real “People Also Ask” questions for
each post’s focus keyword. Setup walkthrough:
1. Create a DataForSEO account at [dataforseo.com/register](https://dataforseo.com/register).
The first $1 of credit is free for new sign-ups — enough for ~200 keyword lookups.
2. After confirming your email, log in to the [DataForSEO dashboard](https://app.dataforseo.com).
3. Go to **Settings API Access**. Copy your **Login** (your account email) and **
Password** (an API password DataForSEO generates separately from your dashboard
login).
4. In WordPress, go to **RankReady Settings**. Scroll to the **DataForSEO** card.
5. Paste the Login and Password fields. Click **Verify credentials** — RankReady performs
a live test query and shows your remaining account balance.
6. Open any post, scroll to the **RankReady FAQ** meta box, enter a focus keyword,
and click **Generate questions**. DataForSEO returns 5 to 10 real Google “People
Also Ask” questions for that keyword.
7. Pick which questions to keep, then click **Generate answers** to have your chosen
LLM write the answers. Final FAQPage JSON-LD is auto-injected into the post.
**Cost per FAQ**: about $0.002 per keyword lookup at DataForSEO (the typical 5-question
pull), plus your LLM cost for the answer generation. A 5-question FAQ usually costs
under one cent total.
**Don’t want to use DataForSEO?** You can manually enter FAQ questions in the meta
box and skip the DataForSEO step entirely — the answer generation works with any
LLM provider on its own.
### What is an “llms.txt” file?
llms.txt is an emerging standard ([llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org)) that lets
AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude understand your site’s structure
faster. Think of it as an “AI sitemap” — a curated index of your most important
content optimized for LLM consumption. RankReady generates both `/llms.txt` (index)
and `/llms-full.txt` (full content) automatically.
### What is MCP and how does RankReady use it?
[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is an open standard
for letting AI agents discover and read your site’s structured content. RankReady
registers read-only abilities (read posts, list authors, fetch FAQs, query categories)
through the WordPress Abilities API. On WordPress 7.0 these are surfaced by the
official MCP Adapter — there is no bundled MCP server to run.
### How does the freshness scanner work?
In **Insights Content Fresh**, click **Scan Content Freshness**. RankReady reads
every post’s `post_modified` date and buckets them into **Stale** (60+ days), **
Going stale** (30-59 days), and **Fresh** (under 30 days). Tick the boxes next to
stale posts, click **Refresh dateModified**, and RankReady updates the modified
timestamp without changing your content. This signals recency to AI crawlers on
their next visit.
### Does this work with my caching plugin or Cloudflare?
Yes. RankReady is tested with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super
Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, SG Optimizer, Hummingbird, Comet Cache, Cache Enabler,
Swift Performance, NitroPack, Perfmatters, Cloudflare APO, Pantheon, Kinsta, and
WP Engine. The plugin persists cache-bypass entries to each cache plugin’s stored
configuration so server-level caches honour the bypass before PHP runs. If your
CDN still caches stale `/llms.txt`, copy the `.htaccess` or `nginx` snippet from**
Settings Diagnostics Server bypass snippets** and add it to your server config.
### Why is my Cloudflare edge serving a stale `/llms.txt`?
If you’re on Cloudflare (especially with APO or a “Cache Everything” page rule),
the edge can hold `/llms.txt` for up to 30 days. RankReady v1.0.0 sets `s-maxage
=600`, `CDN-Cache-Control`, and `Cloudflare-CDN-Cache-Control` headers so the edge
respects a 10-minute TTL. After updating, purge `/llms.txt` once in Cloudflare
Caching Custom Purge by URL to flush any previously-cached version. Future updates
auto-purge.
### Where is my data stored?
Everything stays on your own WordPress site. Your API keys, DataForSEO credentials,
generated summaries, FAQs, and author profiles all live in your own `wp_options`
and `wp_postmeta` tables. POSIMYTH does not see, collect, or transmit any of your
data.
### How do I check if it is actually working?
Open **Settings Diagnostics** and click **Run Diagnostics**. RankReady performs
26 live probes — fetches `/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt`, `/.well-known/mcp.json`,
every Markdown route, detects active SEO plugins, checks rewrite rules, tests REST
routes, scans for cache-plugin conflicts, and inspects edge cache headers. Every
failure ships with a one-line fix. Click **Copy Diagnostic Report** for a full plain-
text bundle you can paste into support requests.
### How do I uninstall it cleanly?
By default, RankReady **preserves your data on uninstall** — your settings, API
keys, summaries, FAQ data, and author profiles all survive. If you want a complete
wipe, enable the “Delete all data on uninstall” toggle in the **Advanced Tools**
tab before uninstalling.
### Is the source code available?
Yes. RankReady is open source under GPL-2.0-or-later. The complete source ships
in the plugin zip on WordPress.org, and product info lives at [posimyth.com](https://posimyth.com/?ref=rankreadyreadme).

## Changelog
#### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-10
* Added: AI SEO tips by email — opt in from the setup wizard or the dashboard for
practical AI SEO tips and product updates. Optional and one-time; nothing is
sent unless you tick the box, and it never appears again once you subscribe.
See “Privacy & Third-Party Services”.
* Fixed: AI provider keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) now save exactly what
you enter, every time.
* Fixed: the “Saved” confirmation now reflects the real result — if a save cannot
complete, you are prompted to reload instead of seeing a false success.
* Fixed: Markdown (.md) versions of your pages stay out of Google’s index even
when served from a page cache (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, WP Super
Cache). CDN and browser caching are unaffected.
* Fixed: no more duplicate robots meta tag on sites without a third-party SEO plugin,
and the snippet-preview control now applies correctly alongside All in One SEO.
* Fixed: WebMCP resource toggles now match what is actually served — public content
is available to AI agents out of the box and stays enabled after saving, while
private resources stay off until you enable them.
* Improved: llms.txt and llms-full.txt stay out of search results while remaining
fully readable by AI agents.
* Improved: Nginx sites that block /.well-known/mcp.json now get the exact one-
line fix inside Diagnostics.
* Improved: serving Markdown to AI agents that request it now works out of the
box, including on Cloudflare, with no effect on site speed.
* Improved: Open Knowledge Format settings and bundle download are now in one card,
and manual cache-flushing is gone — the cache refreshes automatically when you
publish or edit.
* Fixed (security): password-protected posts are never included in the OKF bundle(/
okf/) — they were previously readable there without the password.
* Fixed (security): the WebMCP author lookup now returns only authors with published
content, preventing anonymous user enumeration.
* Fixed: AI Summary and FAQ generation on OpenAI (the request now uses the parameter
current GPT models require, so generation no longer fails).
* Fixed: “Verify Key” for OpenAI now runs a real generation check, so it can no
longer report success while generation would fail.
* Fixed: the setup-wizard email opt-in is unchecked by default (explicit opt-in).
* Improved (hardening): AI-crawler log flood throttle collapses by path so query-
string noise can’t bypass it; “Delete all data” now removes every RankReady option;
the WebMCP manifest advertises only resources with a real ability; internal HTTPS
probes verify TLS by default.
#### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-17
* Google Open Knowledge Format — serve an AI-readable OKF bundle of your content
at /okf/. One click, auto-synced on publish.
* Several bug fixes and improvements for a better experience.
#### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-02
* Fixed: API keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, DataForSEO) would not save
on first entry — the key verified but saved blank. The first save now stores
it correctly.
* Fixed: pages could show raw Markdown to visitors behind Cloudflare APO or other
caches that ignore Vary: Accept. Markdown is now served only at the distinct .
md URLs (e.g. /post-slug.md, /index.md), which are cache-safe; same-URL negotiation
is an opt-in toggle.
* Fixed: updating the plugin no longer resets your AI Summary post-type / CPT selection
back to the default — the onboarding step only seeds defaults for settings that
were never saved.
* Added: full multilingual support — Turkish, CJK, Arabic, Hindi, Cyrillic and
other non-Latin scripts render correctly in Summaries, FAQs, and Author profiles(
stored as real UTF-8). One-time silent migration of existing content.
* Added: Squirrly SEO compatibility — AI schema merges into Squirrly’s JSON-LD
graph instead of emitting a duplicate block.
* Added: SWIS Performance compatibility — shows the exact wp-config exclusion snippet
so AI endpoints (llms.txt, .md, mcp.json) stay fresh.
* Added: EWWW Image Optimizer detected (images only — no conflict with RankReady’s
text endpoints).
#### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-01
* Consistent block/widget names and a dedicated “RankReady” group in Gutenberg
and Elementor; smart Generate/Regenerate button on any post type.
* All four AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) detected everywhere,
with automatic migration of retired model IDs.
* Lighter front end — assets load only on pages using a RankReady block or widget;
no front-end JavaScript. No data loss on update.
#### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-27
* Fixed homepage Markdown URL on static-front-page sites (was emitting example.
com.md; now /index.md).
* Fixed AI Summary settings not saving (settings-group mismatch).
* WP-Cron diagnostic now accepts external system cron (no false warnings on managed
hosts).
* Cache headers audited to RFC 9110/9111 with CDN content-negotiation fixes and
a Cloudflare APO auto-detect notice.
* Removed the extra “Enable” step on togglable cards — tick the toggle and Save.
#### 1.0.0 — 2026-05-26
First public release. The AI-search layer for WordPress: unlimited manual AI Summaries
and FAQ schema, llms.txt + llms-full.txt, Markdown endpoints, 31+ AI-crawler controls

Yoast / AIOSEO without duplicate output), content freshness, Insights, broad cache-
plugin compatibility, multilingual llms.txt, and a Diagnostics suite.
