About

Cloudflare Email Address Obfuscation is a Cloudflare Scrape Shield security feature that encrypts email addresses in HTML to hide them from harvesting bots and keep them visible and clickable for human visitors.

It automatically detects and obfuscates visible email addresses, uses a non-render-blocking JavaScript decoder to restore them for human users, distinguishes bot and human traffic, and supports global or API toggling and exclusions for specific addresses or HTML tags.

reCAPTCHA is a Google service that protects websites from spam, fraud, and automated abuse by distinguishing human users from bots.

It offers several versions, including v2 with an "I'm not a robot" checkbox and an invisible badge and v3 with background risk scoring.
