Web administrators have come up with clever ways to protect against this by writing out email addresses, such as `help [at] cloudflare [dot] com` or by using embedded images of the email address. However, you lose the convenience of clicking on the email address to automatically send an email. By enabling Cloudflare Email Address Obfuscation, email addresses on your web page will be obfuscated (hidden) from bots, while keeping them visible to humans. In fact, there are no visible changes to your website for visitors.

## How it works

When Email Address Obfuscation is enabled, Cloudflare replaces visible email addresses in your HTML with links like `[email protected]`. If a visitor sees this obfuscated format, they can simply click the link to reveal the actual email address. This approach prevents bots from scraping email addresses while keeping them accessible to real users.

## Change Email Address Obfuscation setting

Cloudflare enables email address obfuscation automatically when you sign up.
