Project Description

Simple JavaScript email obfuscator using the ceasar cipher substitution to protect email addresses from getting indexed by spambots.

Getting Started

The only way not to receive spam is by not publishing your email address out there on the Internet.

But you can make it a little bit harder for spambots to capture them, and that's where EmailObfuscator comes in. Aside from a thousand possible more or less effective ways this one turned out to be quite effective for my needs. It protects your email address from getting indexed by using JavaScript and a simple ceasar cipher substitution.

Just enter your email address you would like to protect and an optional text, like your name. Just be aware that the optional text is not protected for SEO reasons. The little preview will give you an idea how your protected link looks. You can even click on it and check if it works. Finally, just copy and paste the displayed JavaScript code anywhere in the HTML of your website where you would like to have the email link appear. Done!
