Block AI Crawlers

<p>Protect Your Content from AI Scraping</p>
<p>This plugin tells AI companies not to crawl your site for their products via standard <code>robots.txt</code> rules.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h3>Blocks AI Bots and Crawlers</h3>
<p>The plugin blocks dozens of AI bots via your site&#8217;s <code>robots.txt</code> file. You can toggle the blocks for each individual crawler.</p>
<p>Blocked crawlers include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI</strong> &#8211; Blocks crawlers used for ChatGPT</li>
<li><strong>Google</strong> &#8211; Blocks crawlers used by Google&#8217;s Gemini AI products</li>
<li><strong>Meta</strong> &#8211; Blocks FacebookBot and Meta training crawlers</li>
<li><strong>Anthropic</strong> &#8211; Blocks crawlers used by Claude</li>
<li><strong>Perplexity</strong> &#8211; Blocks crawlers used by Perplexity</li>
<li><strong>Apple</strong> &#8211; Blocks Applebot-Extended</li>
<li><strong>Amazon</strong> &#8211; Blocks Amazonbot</li>
<li>&#8230;and 150+ more via ai.robots.txt</li>
</ul>
<p>The blocked crawler list is generated at build time from <a href="https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt" rel="nofollow ugc">ai.robots.txt</a> (<code>robots.json</code>, MIT). See the plugin&#8217;s <code>README.md</code> for license attribution.</p>
<h3>Experimental Meta Tags</h3>
<p>The plugin adds the experimental &#8220;noai, noimageai&#8221; directive to your site&#8217;s meta tags. You can toggle this on and off as needed.</p>
<h3>Custom robots.txt Rules</h3>
<p>Have custom entries for your robots.txt file? You can now add them directly through the plugin!</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>After activation, the plugin will automatically update your <code>robots.txt</code> 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.</p>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<p>While this plugin aims to block specified crawlers, it cannot guarantee complete protection against all forms of scraping, as some bots may disregard <code>robots.txt</code> directives.</p>
