AI Playground

Our safe-space to preview and play with what our AI assistant can (and can’t) do for us. Site Information, Uptime Monitoring, DA checks, Site Audits, Security Hardening, LLMs Auditing, SEO implementation, Content Changes and beyond.

Oh, and it created this whole miscrosite (matching branding and style and being creative), all on request through messaging. Clever and spooky huh?😊

Our ai Assistants

We currently have two main ai assistants that are working together for us. We use a messaging app to communicate with them. Their CVs are as follows;

Claude - best for:

  • Operational tasks: SSH into sites, check logs, make fixes, report back
  • Anything requiring judgment — "is this safe?", "what's likely causing this?"
  • Multi-step workflows with tools (Telegram, uptime monitor, file management)
  • Reading and reasoning about existing code/configs before touching them
  • Back-and-forth conversation where context builds up over a session
  • Tasks where you want a human-readable explanation of what's happening

Codex - best for:

  • Pure code generation: "build me a script that does X from scratch"
  • Autonomous coding in a sandbox — it can write, run, test, iterate without risk
  • Grinding through repetitive code tasks (e.g. convert this to that, refactor this pattern across files)
  • Greenfield builds where you just want working code fast
  • Less ideal when the task needs judgment, external systems, or real SSH access

What the AI Assistant Can Do

Direct SSH access to client sites means changes happen in seconds — no tickets, no waiting.

🔒 Security

  • Add HTTP security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP)
  • Hide PHP version from public headers
  • Fix file and folder permissions
  • Detect and remove injected malicious code
  • Disable XML-RPC if not needed
  • Protect or move WP login page

⚡ Performance

  • Increase PHP memory limit
  • Check and configure caching plugins
  • Identify slow plugins or memory hogs
  • Verify CDN is active and working
  • Review and optimise server rules
  • Check image formats (WebP etc.)

🔍 SEO

  • Check robots.txt and sitemap accessibility
  • Fix crawl-delay issues
  • Update page titles and meta descriptions
  • Add or fix alt tags on images
  • Check for accidental noindex on public pages
  • Verify canonical tags are in place

🛠️ WordPress

  • Check core, plugin and theme versions
  • Edit theme files and functions safely
  • Update copy, headings and content
  • Add tracking code to header/footer
  • Fix common WP errors and lockouts
  • Database queries and direct updates

📊 Monitoring

  • 24/7 uptime monitoring across 300+ sites
  • Instant Slack alerts on downtime
  • Real-time dashboard
  • Incident history and recovery tracking
  • Response time tracking per site
  • Add or remove sites in minutes

🌐 DNS & Domains

  • WHOIS lookups and domain expiry checks
  • DNS health and nameserver checks
  • DNSSEC verification
  • SSL certificate checks and expiry alerts
  • Diagnose DNS failures and misconfigurations
  • Redirect chain analysis

SEO — What We Can Audit & Fix

Technical SEO issues are often invisible but have a significant impact on rankings. Here's what we check and can act on directly.

robots.txt

We check it exists, is accessible, references the sitemap, and doesn't block important pages. A Crawl-delay above 10 will slow Google indexing significantly.

XML Sitemap

We verify your sitemap is accessible, correctly structured, and referenced in robots.txt. We catch 502/404 errors that would prevent search engines from reading it.

Page Titles & Meta Descriptions

Audited and updated directly via the database (Rank Math, Yoast) or theme files. Critical for click-through rates from search results.

Image Alt Tags

Missing alt tags hurt SEO and accessibility. We can audit and update all alt tags across a site via the WordPress database or template files.

Canonical Tags

We check canonical tags are correctly set to prevent duplicate content diluting search rankings across the site.

noindex Checks

Pages accidentally set to noindex are invisible to Google. We audit all public pages to ensure none are accidentally hidden from search engines.

Redirect Chains

Every unnecessary redirect adds load time and dilutes link equity. We trace HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www redirect chains to ensure clean single-hop redirects.

⚡ Performance Audit

Google PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals, and specific fixes for speed issues.

What I Can’t Do

Some things are outside my reach — either server-level controls managed by 20i, registrar settings, or things that genuinely require a human decision. Here’s an honest list.

🔧 Server & Hosting Config

  • Upgrade the PHP version (done via 20i control panel)
  • Change the web server type (Apache/LiteSpeed)
  • Modify server-level firewall rules
  • Access or change hosting account billing or plan
  • Suppress CDN-injected headers (e.g. X-Powered-By added by StackCDN — outside server config)

🌐 DNS, Domains & SSL

  • Enable DNSSEC (requires registrar or DNS provider action)
  • Change nameservers (registrar level)
  • Issue or renew SSL certificates (20i handles this automatically)
  • Transfer or renew domain registrations
  • Change domain registrar settings

⚠️ Things That Need You

  • Approve any change before I make it — I always ask first
  • Grant SSH access via 20i before I can touch a site
  • Resolve 20i maintenance windows causing DB read-only errors
  • Make business or design decisions — I implement, you decide
  • Access the 20i control panel directly on your behalf
