Fab plugin - how about other contact methods? #9
Description
Wonderful plugin. I came across this when looking at whether it was worth improving my JS enough to make it into a plugin. I feel like it'll be more effective to promote this one and potentially assist, if able.
The key thing my approach offers which yours doesn't right now is protecting arbitrary contact details - phone numbers are well worth protecting, too.
Is that something you'd be open to adding?
I honestly just do plain JS-based replacement, inserting the right details - no encoding - on page load. Using JS kicks out all basic scrapers and most LLMs, since they can't render JS.
You can nose at my site's entire JS here. I do similar on client sites. You'll see there's a little part with my unobscured contact details. I've not received any spam, so this seems to really be enough to protect it. But I do think encoding or mixing encoding and plain text, or some basic scrambling, could enhance it further. Click to reveal is also a good option for directories, I think. That could work beautifully alongside a JSON file - to automatically reveal the lot on a page in a really efficient way.
What do you think?
Brilliant project.
