It goes far beyond basic right-click blocking with advanced security features including DevTools detection, cross-platform screenshot prevention, encrypted HTML delivery, and canvas-baked watermarking that survives image downloads. ### Content Protection Features * **Disable Right Click (Context Menu):** Prevent users from right-clicking to save images or view source. * **Disable Keyboard Shortcuts:** Blocks common developer and save shortcuts like F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Ctrl+Shift+J, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+S, and Ctrl+P. * **Disable Text Selection:** Prevents highlighting and selecting text on the page. * **Disable Image Drag:** Stops users from dragging and dropping images to save them. * **Disable Copy (Ctrl+C):** Blocks the standard keyboard shortcut for copying content. * **Modern Notifications:** Display a sleek, auto-dismissing toast notification or a standard browser alert when a user attempts a blocked action. Customise the notification message to fit your brand. * **Granular Control:** Exclude specific post types, exclude specific page/post IDs, or bypass protection entirely for logged-in administrators. * **Immediate Head Guard:** Protection activates instantly in the `` before the page body loads, eliminating any race condition during hot-reload or slow page loads. * **JavaScript Required Guard:** When JavaScript is disabled in the browser, all page content is hidden and a friendly message is shown, since protections depend on JavaScript. * **Zero Dependencies:** Built with pure Vanilla JavaScript and no jQuery, ensuring zero impact on your site’s load time. ### DevTools Detection * **3-Layer Detection Engine:** Monitors for Developer Tools opened from any method— keyboard shortcuts, browser menu, or undocked windows. * **Window Size Delta Detection:** Catches DevTools docked to the side or bottom of the browser. * **Console Getter Trap:** Detects when the DevTools Console tab is actively inspecting objects. * **Debugger Timing Detection:** The most reliable method — catches ALL DevTools modes including undocked and menu-opened. Uses cached Function objects for optimal performance. * **Full-Page Blur Overlay:** When DevTools is detected, the page content is blurred and a professional overlay warns the user to close DevTools. * **DOM Encryption on Detection:** When Encrypted Content is enabled, all readable HTML is removed from the DOM and replaced with base64-encoded data while DevTools is open. The Elements panel shows only encrypted gibberish. Content is fully restored when DevTools is closed. ### Encrypted Content (Source Protection) * **Base64 Body Encoding:** The HTML body content is base64-encoded on the server and decoded by JavaScript at runtime. Typing `view-source:` before the URL shows encoded gibberish instead of readable HTML. * **SEO-Safe:** Search engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckBot, etc.) and social media bots (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Telegram) are automatically whitelisted and receive raw HTML for proper indexing and link previews. * **Layout-Safe Minification:** HTML is minified before encoding with full protection for `

`, ``, `<script>`, and `<style>` blocks — no layout or formatting
is affected.
* **Security Headers:** Adds `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` and `X-Frame-Options:
SAMEORIGIN` to prevent MIME-sniffing and clickjacking.
* **Toggle On/Off:** Enable or disable from the Advanced Settings tab without affecting
other protection features.

### Cross-Platform Screenshot Protection

* **Windows:** Blocks PrintScreen key and Win+Shift+S (Snipping Tool), clears clipboard
immediately.
* **macOS:** Blocks Cmd+Shift+3 (full screenshot), Cmd+Shift+4 (area selection),
and Cmd+Shift+5 (screenshot/recording panel) with instant page blur.
* **Linux:** Blocks PrintScreen and Shift+PrintScreen (area screenshot).
* **Tab Switch Blur:** Automatically blurs the page and reduces opacity when the
user switches tabs or the window loses focus — common when using external screenshot
tools.
* **Screen Recording Interception:** Intercepts the Screen Capture API (`getDisplayMedia`)
to blur content during browser-based screen recording. Content stays blurred
until recording stops.
* **Print Protection:** Blocks Ctrl+P, blanks all content via CSS `@media print`,
and shows a “content is protected” message when printing is attempted.
* **Periodic Clipboard Clearing:** Automatically clears the clipboard every 3 seconds
to neutralize PrintScreen captures even when keydown events are bypassed.
* **CSS Capture Shield:** Applies backdrop filter compositing and disables touch
callout/drag to interfere with capture tools.

### Dynamic Image Watermarking

* **Enable/Disable Control:** Turn watermarking on or off at any time with a single
toggle.
* **Text Watermarks:** Full control over text content, font size (12–72px), and
font color with a visual color picker. Perfect for branding, copyright notices,
or messaging.
* **Image Watermarks:** Upload your own logo or image (PNG, SVG) to use as a watermark
via the WordPress Media Library.
* **Flexible Positioning:** Choose from 9 precise positions (top-left, top-center,
top-right, middle-left, center, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-
right) or use **Tiled/Repeat** mode for full-coverage protection.
* **Opacity Control:** Fine-tune transparency (0–100%) to maintain visibility without
affecting image quality.
* **Resizable Watermarks:** Scale watermark size (5–100% of image width) to suit
different image dimensions.
* **Tile Spacing:** Adjust spacing between repeated watermarks when using tiled
mode.
* **Global or Selective Application:** Apply watermarks across all images site-
wide, or target specific images using CSS selectors.
* **Image Exclusion:** Cleanly skip specific images (like logos, banners, or hero
images) from receiving watermarks by providing a list of excluded CSS selectors.
* **Device-Based Visibility:** Choose whether watermarks appear on Desktop only,
Mobile only, or Both.
* **Canvas-Baked Protection:** Watermarks are burned directly into image pixel
data via HTML5 Canvas. The image `src` is replaced with a `blob:` URL, so “Copy
Image URL”, “Save Image As”, and DevTools Network tab all return the watermarked
version.
* **Lazy-Load Compatible:** Automatically detects and watermarks dynamically loaded
images via MutationObserver.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin completely prevent content theft?

No tool can 100% prevent content theft (for example, users can still take photos
of their screen with a phone or use external capture hardware). This plugin acts
as a very strong, multi-layered deterrent against casual copying, right-clicking,
screenshot tools, DevTools inspection, and source code viewing.

### Will this slow down my website?

No. The plugin is extremely lightweight and uses pure Vanilla JavaScript. DevTools
detection uses optimised polling (1.5s intervals with cached function objects) that
consumes less than 0.04% CPU. Server-side HTML encoding adds only 2-4ms to page
generation. There is no noticeable impact on performance.

### Will Encrypted Content affect my SEO?

No. Search engine crawlers (Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckBot) and social
media bots (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Telegram) are automatically
whitelisted and receive raw, unencoded HTML. Your SEO and social link previews are
fully preserved.

### Will Encrypted Content break my page layout?

No. The minification engine protects `<pre>`, `<textarea>`, `<script>`, and `<style
>` blocks from whitespace collapsing. The base64 decoding happens synchronously
and is virtually instantaneous. Your layout, design, and interactive elements remain
unaffected.

### Can I disable protection on certain pages?

Yes. You can exclude specific post types or enter specific page/post IDs to exclude
them from protection via the plugin’s Advanced Settings tab.

### Can I still edit my site and use right-click?

Yes. You can enable the “Skip Administrators” option in the settings so that all
protection is disabled for logged-in administrators.

### Does the watermark modify my original images?

No. Your original image files in the Media Library are never touched or modified.
Watermarks are rendered at runtime via Canvas and CSS overlays.

### Can I use both text and image watermarks?

You can choose either a text watermark or an image watermark. Select your preferred
type from the Watermark tab in settings.

### Will watermarks appear on small icons and favicons?

No. The plugin automatically skips images smaller than 80×80 pixels (such as icons,
spacers, and favicons) to avoid cluttering your interface.

### Can I show watermarks only on mobile devices?

Yes. The Device Visibility setting lets you choose between Desktop Only, Mobile
Only, or Both.

### What happens when JavaScript is disabled?

All page content is hidden and a friendly message is displayed asking the visitor
to enable JavaScript. This is by design, as all protection features require JavaScript
to function.

### Does the screenshot protection work on all platforms?

Yes. It blocks screenshot keyboard shortcuts on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also
blurs the page when the tab loses focus or the browser window is unfocused (common
when switching to screenshot tools). It intercepts the Screen Capture API for browser-
based screen recording. However, hardware capture methods (phone cameras, external
capture cards) cannot be blocked by any browser-based solution.
