#CosoTech friends - another 'she'll pick our brains to death if we let her' question: Any thoughts on using an email obfuscator for contact info on a web site? Supposed to be good for cutting back on bots...
@prairiecelt I think it's a good idea. Nothing is going to be 100% (you need a way for legitimate people to be able to find out how to contact you, right?) but any small steps you can take to discourage mass scraping of your contact info is probably worth it.
Some CDNs (like Cloudflare) will even do it for you automatically. That's what I use on my site.
@john_b Thanks John - found one at katpatuka.org/pub/doc/anti-spamthat still shows your email in the link hover status bar.👍
@prairiecelt Yep, that's another valid approach. Another option is to break it into short strings which would be concatenated together by the renderer but wouldn't be parsed correctly by a scraper. Lots of options. :)
