Email Obfuscator
Overview
Automatically encodes visible email addresses and mailto links in content, excerpts, comments, widgets, blocks, nav menus, and Woo short descriptions—while keeping them clickable for visitors. Feeds are intentionally excluded. No settings UI. Soft overlap with CAPTCHAs (different layer: content scraping vs form bots). Honest positioning: basic bots only—advanced scrapers may still decode.
