Which plugins AI assistants recommend
We ask ChatGPT and Claude the question a site owner asks ("What's the best backup plugin for WordPress?"), several phrasings, several times each, and count which plugins they name. Next to each topic: who WordPress.org itself ranks first for the matching search. Latest run 25 Oct 2026. How it's measured
