Protect your content from copying, scrapers and AI
Deter casual copying, block AI bots on the server (yes, even with JavaScript off) and leave an invisible fingerprint to trace who leaked your work. No magic promises — real layered protection.
Your content isn’t free training material. Content Shield blocks these AI bots on the server (403).
You get copied in seconds — and almost nothing stops it
You invest hours (or years) creating content. Stealing it takes seconds, and most "protections" don’t hold up at all:
Right-click, select, copy… your content shows up on another site with no credit or link.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot and company scrape your content for their models: no permission, no payment, no mention.
They’re bypassed in seconds: turn off JS, use "view source" or a curl, and done.
Three layers, not one. That’s the difference.
Most plugins stop at the first layer (just JavaScript). Content Shield adds the two that really matter:
Stops casual copying: right-click, selection, shortcuts (Ctrl+C/U/S), image dragging and printing, with a configurable notice. Stops whoever just wants to copy and paste fast.
Runs BEFORE the page is served, so it can’t be bypassed by turning off JavaScript. Stops AI bots and scrapers (403), throttles aggressive IPs (rate limit) and truncates the RSS.
If it still leaks, an invisible per-visitor fingerprint encodes who it was. Paste the stolen text in the panel → it tells you the user and email. Traceability, not magic.
An invisible fingerprint in every copy. Find out who leaked.
Content Shield injects a unique, invisible watermark for every visitor (using zero-width characters that don’t change your design or show). If your content appears elsewhere, paste the text in the panel and it tells you who it was.
Each visitor gets a different, invisible fingerprint inside the text.
Someone copies and republishes your work on another site.
Paste the stolen text in the panel → it reveals user, email and date.
Say "no" to AI bots — on the server, with one click
This is the layer most don’t have: it runs before the page is served, so it can’t be disabled by turning off JavaScript.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 20+ get a "no" at the door.
Automatic rules so ~20 agents (incl. Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) don’t train on your site.
Throttles aggressive IPs (429) without touching search engines, logged-in users or AJAX. Self-recovers.
Your feed serves an excerpt + link, not the full article.
A complete toolkit against theft
Beyond the 3 layers, Content Shield brings tools that protect, recover… and even grow your list:
It lets them copy, but adds your link at the end. Turns theft into SEO in your favor.
Creates a legal takedown ready to send — runs 100% in your browser, nothing is transmitted.
Locks content behind an email (or password) and captures the lead. Exports to CSV.
Logo or text on every image at upload. 5 positions, opacity, and reversible (keeps the original).
A trap catches and blocks bots that ignore robots.txt; the pixel alerts you if you’re republished.
Exclude whole categories or user roles from protection, your way.
The free version is already very complete. PRO is for those who mean business.
Content Shield Free truly protects on its own (it’s not a demo). PRO adds the server + forensic layer — and it’s a separate plugin, not code locked inside the free one.
Real protection, without promises no one can keep
“Anyone can promise you 100%. We’d rather give you three layers that actually work — and tell you exactly how far they go.”
You buy knowing exactly what you get. No surprises, no fine print.
Start free. Upgrade to PRO when you need it.
Content Shield Free is free forever. PRO unlocks the server and forensic layer — with a 3-day trial, no card required.

What people ask before installing it
Does Content Shield 100% stop people from copying my content?
No, and be wary of any plugin that promises it — none can. What it does is deter casual copying, block AI bots and scrapers on the server, and leave an invisible fingerprint to trace leaks. It’s layered protection + accountability, not a vault.
Does the forensic fingerprint survive a screenshot?
No. The invisible mark travels with the text when someone copies and pastes (the most common and traceable case), but it’s lost with screenshots, OCR or if the text is fully rewritten. It’s real traceability, not magic — and we tell you upfront.
Does it work even if JavaScript is turned off?
Yes, and that’s the big difference. The blocking layer (PRO) runs on the server, before the page is served, so it can’t be bypassed by turning off JS. Browser deterrence does rely on JavaScript, which is why we combine both layers.
Does blocking AI bots hurt my Google ranking?
No. Blocking targets only AI bots and scrapers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot…), never Googlebot or search engines. Rate limiting also excludes search engines, logged-in users and AJAX requests. Your SEO stays intact.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
No. It installs like any WordPress plugin and protects with the default settings. It’s built in PHP/CSS/JS with no dependencies or build steps, and is compatible with WordPress 6.3+ and PHP 7.4+.
Is the free version functional or just a demo?
100% functional and free forever. It includes deterrence, forced attribution on copy, copyright registry, DMCA generator and Content Locker with lead capture. PRO adds the server and forensic layer, but the Free plan truly protects on its own.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. The forensic access log anonymizes IP addresses by default and data retention is configurable: you decide what’s stored and for how long.
Can I try PRO before paying?
Yes. PRO includes a 3-day trial with no card required, and all plans have a money-back guarantee. You can start on the Free plan and upgrade to PRO whenever you need it.
