supportDear Ryan, Thank you for adding this plugin to WordPress. You are credit to the community 🙂 We are currently configuring your plugin on one of our sites and I read a comment on this support page that I didn’t understand: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-generate-llms-full-txt-and-2/ You state the following in your post: “reducing the maximum number of posts per type and words per summary in the plugin settings.” Can you please explain this? Why should we not include ALL posts, pages and products? Many thanks for your help on this. Piet
Hi @beachholiday Thanks for the kind words! The max-posts and words-per-summary settings are a relief valve for large sites, where llms.txt can become slow to generate, heavy to serve, or unwieldy for models to parse. There is a separate issue where some users included full content from pages/posts and reported pages from their sites being dropped from the index due to duplicate content. Side note: We tested serving full .md files for every page on a site with proper canonicals, but we didn’t record any noticeable lift in grounded search visibility. Google lighthouse recently added a llms.txt entry under “Agentic browsing audits” and we hope to see more detailed guidance there in the future. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/agentic-browsing/llms-txt
Dear @ryhowa Many thanks for your reply and explanation. It is interesting that you actually tested different configurations. This is very insightful. Kind regards, Piet
