Visit Website: fetches and returns key page data (title, headings, links, images, text content).
View Images: downloads image URLs and makes them viewable in the chat.

What was problematic before

The previous implementation worked on simple pages, but had major issues on real-world websites:

Hard failures on many websites (403, 401, 429, 503) with no recovery path.

Frequent anti-bot/WAF blocks (Cloudflare-like pages) ended in immediate tool failure.

Weak network resilience (no retry logic for transient failures).

Low-visibility errors (Forbidden) with almost no context for debugging.

What is improved in this reworked version

Reliability and fallback

Added retry logic for direct page fetches.
Added automatic fallback via r.jina.ai when direct fetch is blocked or fails.
Added block/challenge detection for common anti-bot scenarios.

Better observability

Visit Website now returns fetch metadata:
- source (direct or jina)
- finalUrl
- statusCode
- server
Errors now include more actionable status/server details.

Request quality tuning

Header strategy adjusted to reduce unnecessary bot-triggering patterns.
Keeps existing extraction logic for links, images, and content ranking/selection.

Installation

Install from LM Studio Hub:

vadimfedenko/visit-website-reworked

Then click Run in LM Studio.

Configuration

You can tune:

Max Links
Max Images
Max Content

Use 0 to exclude a section, or -1 for auto defaults where supported.

Usage

Ask the assistant to open a URL and extract page information.
For blocked pages, the plugin now attempts fallback automatically and reports fetch source.

Works great with

vadimfedenko/duck-duck-go-reworked

Use DuckDuckGo Reworked to find relevant URLs, then Visit Website Reworked to extract structured page content.
