GPT-4o

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

GPT-4o is an OpenAI multimodal generative model that supports text, visual, mathematical, programming, and spoken interaction.

GPT-4o is an AI system used through plain-language prompts to help with website work. It can support a site builder without requiring programming, making it useful for tasks such as planning content, improving pages, and developing ideas for search visibility. section 1.7

For a live website review, give GPT-4o a site address and ask a focused question. Scanning the site directly lets it consider the larger experience—not only copied page text—including site-wide navigation and whether the design feels consistent. section 11.2.2

A practical website-review sequence is:

  • Ask for suitable search keywords after providing the website URL. section 11.2.2
  • Continue the same conversation by asking which pages need design improvement. section 11.2.2
  • Use the page-specific feedback to identify cluttered layouts, oversized images, weak product presentation, empty pages, or typography and image choices that need attention. section 11.2.2
  • If the system reports that a site is under construction, try another browser and clear cookies. section 11.2.2

Water-garden site audit

A prompt asking for keywords for a backyard water-garden website produced terms such as “pond maintenance,” “aquatic plants,” “koi pond design,” and “water lilies.” Follow-up prompts then flagged a cluttered home page, an overly dominant main image, basic shopping pages, and empty pages that should gain content or be removed. section 11.2.2

Figure 11.1 GPT followed its suggestions and came up with a better-looking home page.

The redesign image illustrates a home page after GPT followed its own improvement suggestions, connecting a site review to a visible design change. section 11.2.2

GPT-4o can also be selected alongside other AI systems. Aggregators such as Not Diamond and Chathub let a person compare systems or route prompts by capability; GPT is described as strong for language understanding, language generation, and reasoning, while Perplexity is used for current-data research and Claude for programming. section 1.4.1
