AskThis adds a lightweight (<12KB) sharing widget to your posts, pages and WooCommerce products:<\/p>\n\n
ai:type<\/code>, ai:title<\/code>, ai:summary<\/code>, ai:cite_as<\/code>, and product tags like ai:price<\/code> and ai:availability<\/code>) that tell AI answer engines how to read, summarize and cite your pages.<\/li>\n- WooCommerce and ecommerce aware: product pages automatically map title, price, currency, brand and stock status into the AI tags and prompts, so an AI answering \"is this the right product for me\" reads accurate e-commerce data instead of guessing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
AI SEO \/ answer engine optimization.<\/strong> Search is shifting from ten blue links to answers\nwritten by AI. AskThis gives you both halves of that: AI Graph meta tags describe your page\nin a vocabulary answer engines can read, so you are summarized accurately and cited by name\nrather than paraphrased away \u2014 and the AI share buttons let a reader carry your page into\nChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity with a prompt that asks the engine to cite the source.\nThis is what AI SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization\n(GEO) describe: being readable, quotable and attributable to machines, not just to people.\nIn practice it means AI visibility in AI search \u2014 an LLM that reaches your page can identify\nwhat it is, summarize it faithfully and produce an AI citation pointing back to you, which is\nthe difference between traffic from search engines and being quietly absorbed into an answer.<\/p>\n\nThe widget loads asynchronously from a CDN and never blocks page rendering, and works with classic and block themes.<\/p>\n\n
Cache friendly.<\/strong> Changing a setting clears the page cache for you \u2014 AskThis triggers a purge in LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and SG Optimizer, so you never have to wonder why a layout change did not appear on the front end.<\/p>\n\nPlace it automatically after your content, or manually with the AskThis Share Widget<\/strong> block, the [askthis]<\/code> shortcode, or the classic AskThis Share Widget<\/strong> widget in any widget area.\nExternal services<\/h3>\nThis plugin connects to AskThis (askthis.io), the service that powers the\nsharing widget and its analytics. An AskThis account and Site ID are required\nfor the plugin to do anything.<\/p>\n\n
Three separate connections are made:<\/p>\n\n
\nWidget script -- cdn.askthis.io\nOn every page where the widget is enabled, the visitor's browser loads\nhttps:\/\/cdn.askthis.io\/widget.js. No data is sent by the plugin; this is a\nscript request, so the visitor's IP address and user agent reach AskThis as\nthey would with any externally hosted script.<\/p><\/li>\n
Site ID verification -- api.askthis.io\nWhen an administrator saves the plugin settings, the site makes one\nserver-side request to https:\/\/api.askthis.io\/api\/v1\/sites\/{site-id}\/config\nto confirm the Site ID is valid. Only the Site ID is sent. No visitor data\nand no site content are included. If the request fails the setting is still\nsaved; verification is advisory.<\/p><\/li>\n
Interaction analytics -- ingest.askthis.io\nWhen a visitor views or interacts with the widget, the widget sends event\ndata to https:\/\/ingest.askthis.io. Each event contains: the event type\n(view, share, ai_click, question), your Site ID, the platform or AI engine\nchosen, the URL of the page, and a timestamp. If a visitor types a question\ninto the AI panel, that question text is included. Events are batched in the\nbrowser and sent periodically, not on every interaction.\nAskThis derives a pseudonymous identifier at its edge for deduplication. The\nplugin itself stores nothing about visitors and sets no cookies.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

\n- Install via Plugins \u2192 Add New and search for AskThis<\/strong>, or upload the plugin zip (it unpacks to
askthis-ai-social-sharing\/<\/code> in \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>).<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
- Go to Settings \u2192 AskThis<\/strong> and paste the Site ID from your AskThis dashboard.<\/li>\n
- Choose layout, networks, AI platforms and theme. Done \u2014 the widget appears after your content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
To place the widget manually, disable \"Auto-insert\" and use the AskThis Share Widget block (or [askthis]<\/code>) wherever you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDoes the plugin slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. One async script tag is added; nothing render-blocking, no jQuery, no external CSS. If the CDN is unreachable the page renders normally without the widget.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Product pages get a product-type prompt and additional AI Graph tags: price, currency, brand (from the brand<\/code>\/pa_brand<\/code> attribute) and availability from live stock status.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it track my visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin itself stores nothing about visitors. The widget records pseudonymous, consent-gated interaction events only (no names, emails or IPs), per the AskThis privacy policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I change the CDN URL?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes, in code: add_filter( 'askthis_script_url', fn() => 'https:\/\/widgets.example.com\/widget.js' );<\/code><\/p><\/dd>\nWhere does the widget appear?<\/h3><\/dt>\nOn single posts (article prompts), pages (generic prompts) and WooCommerce products (product prompts). Archives, feeds and embeds are excluded.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
0.1.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Listing screenshots replaced: the widget on a real post, the settings screen, the button pickers and the editor block \u2014 all captured in a real WordPress admin.<\/li>\n
- Fixed the Plugin URI, which pointed at a page that did not exist.<\/li>\n
- Corrected the manual-install folder name in the installation steps.<\/li>\n

0.1.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- The settings screen's layout CSS now loads through
wp_add_inline_style()<\/code> on admin_enqueue_scripts<\/code> instead of a printed style tag, and only on that screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n0.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release.<\/li>\n
- Settings screen (Settings \u2192 AskThis): site ID (verified against the AskThis API on save), layout, networks, AI platforms, theme, position, auto-insert.<\/li>\n
- \"Unlock premium AI features\" panel linking to plan & billing on the AskThis dashboard \u2014 paid features apply to your site automatically once you upgrade.<\/li>\n

- AI Graph v1.0 meta tags for posts, pages and WooCommerce products (incl. price, currency, brand, availability, category path, published\/updated dates, language and author).<\/li>\n
- Gutenberg block
