About llms.txt
The llms.txt file is an emerging standard for providing LLM-friendly documentation of your website's content. Similar to how robots.txt tells search engine crawlers what to index, llms.txt helps AI language models understand your site structure and content priorities.

- Better AI Understanding: Provides context about your pages that helps LLMs give more accurate answers about your business
- Content Prioritization: Highlight your most important pages for AI crawlers
- Structured Information: Organize content by category (core, product, docs, blog) for better comprehension
- SEO for AI: As AI-powered search becomes more prevalent, llms.txt helps your content appear in AI-generated responses
How It Works
- Generate: Use this tool to create your llms.txt file from a sitemap or URL list
- Customize: Review and edit the generated file to match your needs
- Deploy: Place the file at
https://yoursite.com/llms.txt - Update: Regenerate periodically as your content evolves
Best Practices
