See what AI says about your
WordPress site. Then fix it.
Caidance — AI-Readiness Score runs 10 local checks inside your wp-admin, scores you 0–60 on the same CDI scale that powers caidance.ai, and tells you the top three fixes in plain English, tailored to your industry. And it now applies three one-click fixes for you — preview the exact change, approve it, watch your score move.
Install free from WordPress.org →10 checks. Plain English. Zero external calls.
Every check runs in PHP against your own site. No data is sent anywhere — not to Caidance, not to anyone.
The file AI agents look for first. Caidance can now create it for you, with your approval.
robots.txt points to an XML sitemap AI can crawl.
JSON-LD that names your business + logo + URL. Caidance can output it for you.
AI can query your site as a search target. Caidance can output it for you.
Three or more Q&A entries AI can cite verbatim.
Blog posts have author + datePublished structured.
Authors resolve to a Person profile, not just a name.
AI generates clean previews when surfacing your pages.
AI cites the right URL for your content.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended allowed. Caidance can unblock them for you.
Not just a score. Fixes — applied, verified, reversible.
The plugin now closes three of its gaps for you: llms.txt, AI-crawler access in robots.txt, and homepage Organization + WebSite schema. You stay in charge at every step.
See the exact change — the file content, the precise lines, the exact markup. Built only from your real site. Nothing changes yet.
One click. Nothing ever changes on your site without it.
Caidance re-checks your site on the spot and shows the before/after. Your score moves immediately.
One click undoes it — files restored byte-for-byte, output switched off instantly — and every action lands in a local evidence log.
Conflict-aware by design: an existing file, or an SEO plugin that already owns the job (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO and more), gets named — and Caidance steps aside. It never overwrites what it does not own. And the weekly scan watches for drift: if an applied fix stops holding, Caidance flags it and offers the one-click re-apply.
Scored on the canonical CDI 0–60.
The plugin uses the same Caidance Discovery Index methodology that powers the snapshot and Platinum tiers on caidance.ai. Same scale, same four bands, same outcome — just running inside your wp-admin.

AI agents struggle to read your site.

Your fix list is tailored to your industry.
11 industries are wired in — pick yours on activation. Three illustrative examples:
"Publish your fiduciary status in plain English so AI agents can lift it verbatim when someone asks "who is a fee-only advisor near me?""
"Make your service area parseable from structured data — most AI tools miss "plumber in [town]" when the coverage is only mentioned in body copy."
"Tighten your Person schema for every clinician so AI tools can resolve credentials and avoid hedging when a patient asks for a specialist."

Frequently asked
Does this slow my site?
No. The scan runs only when you click "Run scan now" or on the weekly cron schedule. It runs in admin context, never on front-end page loads.
Do I need a Caidance account?
No. The plugin is fully usable on its own. The links to caidance.ai are optional — they point to deeper analysis the plugin can't do from inside WordPress.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The scanner runs entirely in PHP against your own site. Results are stored in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to Caidance or any third party.
What does the plugin change on my site?
Only three things, each with your approval: it can create an llms.txt file, remove AI-crawler-only blocks from robots.txt (the original is stored for byte-for-byte restore), and switch on homepage Organization/WebSite schema output. You preview the exact change first, nothing happens until you approve, the result is re-checked and logged, and one click reverses each. Anything owned by another tool is detected and left alone. Everything else the plugin does is read-only.
Will this work with my caching plugin?
Yes. The scan reads your site the same way an AI crawler would — including whatever HTML your cache layer serves.
What does the AI crawler check do?
Reads robots.txt and confirms five major AI crawlers are allowed: GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI search), Google-Extended (Google AI). Toggleable if you intentionally block them.
How does the upgrade path to paid tiers work?
When the plugin surfaces a fix, the Tools page links to the matching walkthrough on caidance.ai. The $9.95/mo Caidance Pilot unlocks every walkthrough plus the AI playbooks and adds continuous monitoring; the $149 Alignment Review adds the back-office stack assessment. Both live on caidance.ai — neither requires the plugin.
