How it works

Three steps from your store URL to a finished file

01

Paste your store URL

We read your Ecwid store and sort your products, categories, and pages into clean, prioritized sections.

02

Edit and trim

Drop cart and utility pages, rewrite each description in your own words, and choose what AI sees first.

03

Publish at your root

Serve the file at /llms.txt with a small proxy in front of your store domain. Steps are below.

What is a Ecwid LLMs.txt file?

It is a single plain-text file at yourstore.com/llms.txt that sums up your Ecwid store for AI. Think of it as a short, hand-written index: what you sell, your main categories, and the products that matter most. Rather than crawling store widgets and scripts, an AI model reads your summary and understands your catalog in seconds.

  • Sums up your products and categories
  • Simple markdown, no special tools
  • Lives at yourstore.com/llms.txt
  • You decide which products AI sees first

A simple map for AI

Where it fits

llms.txt vs robots.txt vs sitemap.xml on Ecwid

Your Ecwid store already ships with a few of these files. Each one has a different job, and they work best as a set.

File What it does on your store Who it is for Status on Duda
robots.txt Controls which store pages crawlers can access All crawlers Auto-generated
sitemap.xml Lists your store, category, and product pages Search engines Auto-generated
llms.txt Gives AI a clear summary of your store so it understands it faster and crawls less AI models and agents Recommended
Schema / JSON-LD Machine-readable facts about your products and store Search engines + AI Proven

Google's Lighthouse now includes an llms.txt check in its agentic browsing audits, noting that without the file, AI agents spend longer crawling a site to work out its structure and key content. See the Chrome for Developers documentation.

The honest take

llms.txt vs structured data: which moves your Ecwid store's AI visibility?

Use both. An llms.txt is a fast, low-effort win you fully control. Schema is the format Google and AI already trust to confirm your products, prices, and ratings.

llms.txt Recommended

A lightweight, machine-readable summary of your store. It hands AI a clean map of your products, categories, and pages so it can understand your catalog faster and crawl less to find what matters.

  • Ready in minutes, no coding
  • You choose the products to feature
  • Low risk, low cost

Structured data Proven

JSON-LD schema is documented by Google and used by AI to confirm products, prices, and ratings. Ecwid adds basic product schema for you, and an audit makes sure it is complete and correct.

  • Drives rich results for product pages
  • Read by AI and search engines today
  • Verified by Google case studies
Why bother

What an Ecwid llms.txt does for you

Control how AI describes your store

Hand AI a plain description of what you sell so it stops guessing from store markup and scripts.

Easier for AI to read

A short text summary is far simpler than an Ecwid storefront full of dynamic product widgets.

Point AI to your best products

Steer AI toward your top categories and bestsellers, not cart, search, or account pages.

Stay ready for AI shopping

As shoppers ask AI for recommendations, a clean catalog summary keeps your store accurate and visible.

The spec

What an Ecwid llms.txt file looks like

The only required line is an H1 with your store name. Add sections for your categories, featured products, and pages to give AI the context it needs.

Hosting

How to host your llms.txt file on Ecwid

On an Ecwid Instant Site, robots.txt and sitemap.xml are generated for you and custom root-file uploads are not available, so the dependable way to serve llms.txt is a small proxy in front of your domain.

The Cloudflare proxy method

  1. Generate and download your file, then put your store domain behind Cloudflare, keeping your existing www CNAME pointed at Ecwid with the proxy enabled.
  2. Add a Cloudflare Worker or rule that answers /llms.txt with your file as text/plain, so that path returns your content instead of passing through to Ecwid.
  3. Open yourstore.com/llms.txt in a browser and confirm it loads as plain text and returns a 200.

If you run Ecwid embedded on another platform like WordPress, you can skip the proxy and upload llms.txt straight to that site's root directory instead.
