Experimental Meta Tags
The plugin adds the "noai, noimageai" directive to your site’s meta tags, instructing AI bots not to use your content in their datasets. Please note that these tags are experimental and have not been standardized.
Usage
After activation, the plugin will automatically update your robots.txt
and add the necessary meta tags. No further configuration is required, but you can check the settings page for a full list of blocked crawlers.
Limitations
While this plugin aims to block specified crawlers, it cannot guarantee complete protection against all forms of scraping, as some bots may disregard robots.txt
directives.

FAQ
-
Will this remove my site from existing data sets?
-
Unfortunately, no. However, it does tell bots that your site shouldn’t be used for future datasets.
-
How does this work?
-
The plugin adds directives to the
robots.txt
file to tell AI crawlers that they shouldn’t index your site. It also adds thenoai
meta tag to your site’s header to do the same. -
How often is this updated?
-
I try to keep up with new crawlers and update the block list regularly.
-
Can I suggest crawlers for blocking?
-
Yes! please share suggestions on the forums or on GitHub.
-
What if I already have a `robots.txt` file on my web server?
-
If you have a physical
robots.txt
file on your web server, you won’t be able to activate this plugin. The plugin only works when using WordPress' built-in virtualrobots.txt
. -
Will this work with other plugins that modify the virtual `robots.txt`?
-
It should in theory. It just appends the directives to the
robots.txt
file. -
Will this prevent my site from being indexed by search engines?
-
No. Search engines follow different
robots.txt
rules.
