No data from these fetches is sent anywhere; the requests stay between your server and itself.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>\"Get Full AI Visibility Audit\"<\/strong> button is a plain outbound link, followed only if you click it. It opens the plugin author\u2019s website (https:\/\/webauditaitool.com\/audit by default, configurable under <strong>AI Readiness \u2192 Settings<\/strong>) in a new tab, passing your homepage URL and Lite AI Readiness Score as URL query parameters so the destination page can be pre-filled. No request is made to this service unless you click the button.<\/p>\n\n<p>The destination site is operated by the plugin author.
