Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Deny

No. Googlebot, the crawler behind Google Search, isn't on the list. Google-Extended only controls whether your content is used for Google's AI products like Gemini; Google says blocking it doesn't affect your Search ranking.

It can. Bots like OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot fetch pages so AI search tools can cite them. Block them and those tools are less likely to link to you. If that traffic matters to you, leave those two allowed and block the training crawlers.

Not while that file is there. When a physical robots.txt exists in your site's root folder, your server sends it directly and WordPress never gets the chance to add rules. AI Deny checks for this when you activate it. Copy any custom rules you need into WordPress, then remove the file and let AI Deny handle the rest.

It blocks every crawler that respects robots.txt, which includes the major AI companies' published crawlers. A bot that ignores robots.txt has to be blocked at the server or CDN level.

Visit yoursite.com/robots.txt. You'll see a User-agent and Disallow: / pair for each crawler you've blocked. A crawler I want to block isn't on the list. Let me know in the support forum and I'll look at adding it.
