Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Init Content Protector – Anti-Copy, Anti-Scrape, Encrypt-All
If you enable full content encryption, search engines will not be able to see the content. Only use this option if SEO visibility is not required.
Yes. You can choose which post types are protected in the settings page.
Yes. You can set a custom key per site for added security.
Inline embeds the decryption key directly in page HTML — simple and works everywhere, but readable via view-source. Enhanced fetches the key from a REST API endpoint after page load instead, keeping it out of cached/static HTML and working cleanly with full-page cache plugins. Neither mode makes content truly secret from a visitor running the page's own JavaScript — both are meant to raise the bar for casual scrapers, not stop a determined human.
No, intentionally. Rate-limiting by visitor IP would mean storing one database row per unique IP with no automatic cleanup — on a busy or bot-scanned site that bloats the database worse than the scraping it aims to prevent. If you need rate limiting, apply it at your server, CDN, or WAF layer.
The plugin automatically detects AMP endpoints and skips all protection there (JS injection, encryption, noise), since AMP doesn't allow the custom scripts these features rely on.
Yes, via the "Noise Injection Rate" setting (1–50% per word, default 7%). Noise is only ever inserted into plain text — never inside HTML tags or inside elements like <script>, <style>, <select>, or <svg> — so it can't corrupt markup.
"Enable JavaScript Content Protection" is the plugin's original, lightweight protection: it blocks common keyboard shortcuts, right-click, text selection, and printing. "Advanced DevTools Blocking" adds a dedicated third-party detection library (disable-devtool) that recognizes DevTools being opened through several different methods beyond keyboard shortcuts, and reacts by closing or redirecting the tab. "Anti-Screenshot Protection" (Init AntiSnap) is a separate heuristic that watches for scroll-jump and layout-shift patterns typical of automated screenshot/scraping tools and briefly blurs the page instead. All three are independent — enable any combination that fits your site.
They're designed not to, but both are heuristic and best-effort like every other protection layer in this plugin. Advanced DevTools Blocking only reacts when it detects an open DevTools panel; Anti-Screenshot Protection only reacts to repeated, evenly spaced scroll steps made without any real input from the visitor, or DevTools-style viewport changes, and its blur effect clears itself automatically after a few seconds or as soon as the tab regains focus. Neither is enabled by default.
It's aimed at automated scraping tools built on Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium — the kind that run a real browser engine and read the DOM after your page renders, which the plugin's other protections (encryption, noise, keyword cloaking) can't stop on their own once the page is decrypted for them too. When enabled, it scores several client-side automation signals together (no single signal decides on its own) and, if the session looks automated, simply never triggers decryption — the content stays on its loading skeleton instead of appearing in the DOM. It only takes effect when Content Protection Mode is set to Encrypt, and it's off by default. Like every automation signal, well-configured "stealth" tooling can evade individual checks — this raises the cost of scraping, it doesn't guarantee blocking it.
