Protect Your Content from AI Scraping
This plugin tells AI companies not to crawl your site for their products via standard robots.txt rules.
Features
Blocks AI Bots and Crawlers
The plugin blocks dozens of AI bots via your site’s robots.txt file. You can toggle the blocks for each individual crawler.
Blocked crawlers include:
- OpenAI – Blocks crawlers used for ChatGPT
- Google – Blocks crawlers used by Google’s Gemini AI products
- Meta – Blocks FacebookBot and Meta training crawlers
- Anthropic – Blocks crawlers used by Claude
- Perplexity – Blocks crawlers used by Perplexity
- Apple – Blocks Applebot-Extended
- Amazon – Blocks Amazonbot
- …and 150+ more via ai.robots.txt
The blocked crawler list is generated at build time from ai.robots.txt (robots.json, MIT). See the plugin’s README.md for license attribution.
Experimental Meta Tags
The plugin adds the experimental “noai, noimageai” directive to your site’s meta tags. You can toggle this on and off as needed.
Custom robots.txt Rules
Have custom entries for your robots.txt file? You can now add them directly through the plugin!
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.
