## விளக்கம்

AI answer engines are the new search. VisiBeacon makes your WordPress site visible,
readable and quotable for them – a practice known as Generative Engine Optimization(
GEO).

**Free features**

 * **llms.txt generator** – serves a spec-compliant `/llms.txt` file (per llmstxt.
   org): site name, summary, and curated link sections with descriptions. Auto-updates
   as your content changes. Works alongside Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress and AIOSEO(
   reuses their meta descriptions).
 * **AI bot detection** – see which AI crawlers visit your site: GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot,
   ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider,
   CCBot, Meta, Amazon, Cohere, Mistral and more, with a 30-day “which AI engines
   see you” overview on the dashboard.
 * **Per-bot crawler controls** – allow, block via robots.txt, or hard-block (403)
   each AI bot individually. Block training bots while staying visible to AI search.
 * **FAQ + FAQPage schema** – add FAQ sections to any post or page with valid FAQPage
   JSON-LD and accordion styling, from a simple editor in the post sidebar.
 * **Active AI push (IndexNow)** – publishes and updates are pushed instantly to
   the index that powers ChatGPT search. No account needed.

**VisiBeacon Pro (separate plugin, sold on visibeacon.com)**

 * **AI traffic trends** – daily crawl charts, most-crawled URLs, recent activity
   and referral visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and other AI engines.
 * **Readiness score** – analyzes each post for what AI engines need: a direct answer
   near the top, question headings, scannable structure, FAQ, freshness. Graded 
   A-D with a fix checklist.
 * **Auto-generated FAQs** – one-click FAQ generation per post (manual FAQ editing
   is free).
 * **llms-full.txt** – full-content companion file for deeper AI ingestion.
 * **AI enhancement (optional)** – bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini API
   key for AI-written summaries, descriptions and FAQs.

### External services

This plugin connects to the following external services. No service is required –
each can be disabled in the plugin settings, and the plugin remains functional without
them.

**IndexNow (api.indexnow.org, operated by Microsoft Bing)**
 Purpose: the “Active
AI push” feature submits the public URLs of your published content (and your llms.
txt URL) to the IndexNow endpoint so search and AI engines index changes faster.
Data sent: your site’s host name, the public URLs being submitted, and a plugin-
generated verification key. Sent when you publish or update content, and when you
click “Push all URLs now”. No personal data, post content, or visitor data is sent.
Can be disabled: VisiBeacon  IndexNow  Active AI push. Terms: https://www.indexnow.
org/faq | Microsoft privacy statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

**VisiBeacon bot registry (visibeacon.com)**
 Purpose: once a week the plugin downloads
an updated list of known AI crawler user-agents from visibeacon.com/bots.json so
new AI bots are detected without waiting for a plugin update. Data sent: a standard
HTTP GET request (your server’s IP and WordPress user-agent, as with any HTTP request).
No site content or personal data is sent. Terms: https://visibeacon.com/terms/ |
Privacy: https://visibeacon.com/privacy-policy/

The AI traffic tracker stores its data locally in your own database only. Visitor
IP addresses are stored as salted hashes by default and can be anonymized entirely.
No analytics or tracking data is sent to any third party.

### Third-party libraries

 * Chart.js v4 (https://www.chartjs.org) – MIT License – bundled unmodified at admin/
   js/vendor/chart.umd.min.js for the admin dashboard charts.

## அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

### What is llms.txt?

A proposed standard (llmstxt.org) that gives large language models a concise, curated
map of your site – like robots.txt, but for helping AI understand and cite your 
content rather than just crawl it.

### Does this plugin send my content to third parties?

No. The free plugin sends no post content anywhere. (The separate Pro plugin has
an optional bring-your-own-key AI feature; even there, nothing is sent unless you
add a key.)

### Does it work with my SEO plugin?

Yes. VisiBeacon complements Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress and AIOSEO – it reuses their
meta descriptions in llms.txt and adds GEO features they don’t have.

### Does uninstalling delete my data?

No. Your settings, AI traffic history, FAQs and readiness scores are kept when the
plugin is deleted, so reinstalling picks up right where you left off. If you want
a full cleanup instead, enable “Remove ALL VisiBeacon data when the plugin is deleted”
on the “Data & Backup” tab before uninstalling. You can also export a complete JSON
backup (and import it back) from the “Data & Backup” tab.

### Will blocking AI bots hurt my rankings?

Blocking training-only bots (e.g. GPTBot) does not affect Google rankings. Blocking
AI search bots (e.g. OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) will reduce your visibility in
those AI engines – the plugin labels each bot’s purpose so you can decide.

## Changelog

#### 1.9.7

 * Fixed: the free plugin shipped a native uninstall.php alongside the bundled licensing
   SDK. WordPress runs that file instead of the uninstall hook the SDK registers,
   so the SDK’s own uninstall flow never ran when the plugin was deleted. The data
   cleanup is now wired through the SDK’s uninstall hook, exactly like the Pro editions.
   No behavior change for your data: cleanup still runs on delete and still removes
   data only when “Remove ALL VisiBeacon data when the plugin is deleted” is enabled
   on the Data & Backup tab.

#### 1.9.6

 * New: “Generate a new key” button on the IndexNow tab. IndexNow caches its verification
   verdict per domain and key, so a domain that failed verification while the key
   file was unreachable can keep answering HTTP 403 for weeks even after the file
   works. A fresh key carries no cached verdict – every domain is verified anew 
   on the next push.
 * Fixed: on multilingual sites the llms.txt conflict notice could reappear even
   after VisiBeacon was correctly serving the file, wrongly naming an installed 
   SEO plugin as the source. The check compared the live file (served in the site’s
   primary language) against the admin language’s version – it now recognizes VisiBeacon’s
   own output in any language.
 * Improved: when the serving source of /llms.txt cannot be identified from its 
   content, the notice no longer names a plugin whose llms.txt feature is verifiably
   switched off.

#### 1.9.5

 * Fixed: on multilingual sites, the Key pages and Excluded content pickers mixed
   every language’s items together (wp-admin does not filter queries by language,
   and WPML’s “All languages” admin mode never does). The pickers now list only 
   the edited language’s items; items of untranslatable post types stay listed in
   every language, matching how the multilingual plugin serves them.
 * Fixed: the published counts next to Content sections (and the max-items overflow
   warning) counted every language’s items on multilingual sites. They now count
   the edited language’s items.

#### 1.9.4

 * New: per-language llms.txt switch on multilingual sites – “Serve llms.txt for
   this language” on the llms.txt tab, set per language. Uncheck it for languages
   that are defined on the site but not really in use: that language’s llms.txt (
   and llms-full.txt) returns 404 and its link leaves the Dashboard list, while 
   every other language keeps serving. Existing sites are unaffected – every language
   stays enabled until you switch it off.
 * New: “select all” checkbox on every content-type group in the Key pages and Excluded
   content pickers – one click selects or clears a whole type (Posts, Pages, Products…),
   with a dash state when only some items are picked.
 * New: FAQ status table on the FAQ tab – every published item with its FAQ count
   and a direct edit link, so you can see at a glance which pages still need questions.(
   Pro installs keep their richer table with generation buttons.)
 * Improved: the FAQ tab now says clearly where editing happens – each item’s questions
   live on the item itself, edited from the VisiBeacon box in its editor sidebar,
   and the tab’s Edit links take you straight there.
 * Improved: ticking a content type under “Content sections” now reveals that type’s
   items in the Key pages and Excluded content pickers immediately – no more saving
   first just to see them. Picks made for a type you later untick are also no longer
   silently dropped on the next save.
 * Improved: FAQ placement (append after content vs schema only) is now set per 
   language on multilingual sites, like the FAQ heading. A language without its 
   own choice follows the primary language, so existing sites behave exactly as 
   before.

#### 1.9.3

 * New: “Free vs Pro” tab – a plain comparison of what the free plugin includes (
   everything listed stays fully functional) and what the separate Pro plugin adds.
   Nothing in the free plugin is locked or disabled; the tab is purely informative
   and disappears when Pro is installed.
 * Improved: when an IndexNow push fails for some domains on a multi-domain site,
   only the failed domains’ URLs are kept for the automatic retry – the domains 
   that went through count as pushed and are not re-sent. The verification error
   message now also explains that IndexNow re-checks key files periodically, so 
   a 403 can persist for a while after the key file becomes reachable and then clears
   on its own.

Earlier releases are documented in changelog.txt, bundled with the plugin.
