EMAILProtect hides a normal e-mail string (e.g. “info@domain.com”) by editing the HTML code. This does not effect the outcome as the normal user sees it, but it make’s it impossible for web crawlers to locate the e-mail address. Most crawlers these days are “non-javascript crawlers” (to speed up the crawling process) which means that almost no crawlers can see the re-written e-mail addresses – even though it looks just the same for the regular user. If you look in the source code of you WordPress page, with this plugin activated, you will see a JavaScript (e.g. ) where it’s supposed to be an e-mail address.
