Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Botless Core

No plugin can guarantee 100% protection against all bots, especially sophisticated ones. Botless Video aims to deter common and less advanced bots, significantly reducing unwanted bot traffic.

Botless Video is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible for real users. Most protection methods are invisible or require minimal interaction (like having JavaScript enabled, which most browsers do).

Botless Video supports YouTube, Vimeo, and self-hosted HTML5 videos embedded through standard WordPress methods or shortcodes provided by the plugin.

Yes, the plugin settings page will allow you to enable or disable different protection techniques based on your needs and preferences.

The video (or a placeholder) is often loaded via JavaScript. Many simple bots do not process JavaScript, so they won't trigger the video load or be counted as a view.

The plugin is designed to be lightweight. Some methods, like delayed loading, might introduce a very slight delay in video appearance, but this is generally configurable and aimed at improving overall site health by reducing bot load.
