WP Markdown

Let AI tools read your article, not your theme.

A WordPress plugin that gives every post and page on your site a clean Markdown copy at the same address with .md on the end. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity get the article itself, without the menus and code, up to 89 times smaller.

WhyI Built It

When an AI tool opens a WordPress page, the article is about 2% of what it gets; the rest is menus, markup and scripts. On a test article with the default WordPress theme, the page was 152,958 bytes and the article itself in Markdown was 1,719 bytes. The clearer the content, the easier it is for a tool to understand it and quote it correctly.

The same article: a full HTML page next to a Markdown copy with only the article.

How ItWorks

  1. 1

    Upload and activate it.

    Paste your licence key in its settings; there is nothing else to set.

  2. 2

    Every page gets a .md copy.

    /blog/hello/ also answers at /blog/hello.md

  3. 3

    Built from the page visitors see.

    Without the header, menus, sidebar and comments.

  4. 4

    Saved and kept up to date.

    The first request builds the file; editing the post rebuilds it.

What IBuilt Into It

From the real page

It reads the page after your theme renders it, so it works with Gutenberg, the classic editor, Elementor, ACF and shortcodes.

Facts and links

Title, author, dates and categories at the top of the file, and internal links that point to other .md copies.

Safe for SEO

Every copy sends a canonical link to the original page, so Google keeps ranking your normal page.

Private stays private

Drafts and private posts get no copy, and password-protected posts return 401.

A copy per language

Works with WPML and Polylang, with a copy for each language.

WooCommerce products

Every product gets a copy with its price, sale, stock and every option with its own price, and the shop page lists them all.

Ready forAI Agents

An agent that asks for a page in Markdown gets it at the page’s own address, while browsers still get HTML, and every page names its copy in a Link header. That is what isitagentready.com checks, and a plain WordPress site fails it.

Questions

Will a Markdown copy hurt my Google ranking?

No. Every copy sends a canonical link to the original page, so the HTML page stays the one Google ranks.

Does it work with my theme or page builder?

Yes. The copy is built from the page as visitors see it, so it works with Gutenberg, the classic editor, Elementor, ACF and shortcodes.

Will it slow my site down?

No. Your normal pages are untouched; a copy is built once and served from a saved file until you edit the post.

How much is it?

$25 a year for one site, or $38 a year for three. If you do not renew, the plugin keeps working without updates.

What do I need to run it?

WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer, on any host.

The plugin makes your site easier for AI tools to read. It does not guarantee your site will appear in their answers; each platform decides that itself.
