AI crawler logging turns AI visibility from an argument into a measurement. The free AI Discovery Files plugin now logs every fetch of your llms.txt, and adds AI Import on WordPress 7. Here is 30 days of real log data from one of our own sites, against the Ahrefs study that says nobody reads these files.
56% of deployed AI discovery files fail validation. The files exist, the server returns 200 OK, and AI systems still can't use them. Here's how to test what AI actually sees when it reads your files, fix the three most common failures, and prove your business shows up correctly.
43% of UK businesses reported a cyber breach last year. If your WordPress site has a contact form, analytics, or customer logins, security and GDPR overlap.
